Review summary

I enjoyed my cruise; however if you play in the casino stop by and get a players card so they won’t keep asking you to remove your key card from your slot machine to take and place your beverage order. It was annoying because it would cash out your machine automatically to your card and I never seemed to get the machine to start playing and/or hitting as often as it seemed to before they asked for my card! Well this might just be me but it felt like bad mojo resetting and adding my money back in the machine from my player bank on the card every time I wanted a drink!

This was a great location more towards the back but much larger hallway, was definitely easier to talk the elevator at the stern. Make sure you go to the center stairs for any port debarkations because they will lock out the back elevators

You can stay and enjoy the pool area here but plan to take an excursion at this stop, this on I prefer not to leave unless I’m with a bigger group!

Absolutely love being able to get off the ship and just walk up and down the streets! We found a great little cafe “Kaffe Haus Old San Juan” and the Greatest Gelato shop “Anita La Mamma del Gelato” a short walk west of the cruise port! Just look for them on Google maps!

Really enjoyed the quiet cove where the main beach area is located and that the drinks package covers you while your here!
