Review summary

I was disappointed with the size of the pool for the magnitude of people on board. The pool was consistently crowded and there were never enough lounge chairs at the pool - people would come down early to the pool area and leave their towels on the chair so no one else could lay there all day. Food was great, but very small portions were served in the restaurants. On the other hand, Buffets were always great. - something for everyone. Entertainment was great but not enough activities during the day, especially for the teens.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the rain forest trip but it was a lot of hiking and I would rather have done something else. There was not enough time to see Puerto Rico. We ate at the Puerto Rican Cafe in Old San Juan - the food was delicious. Stores close early so we did not have time to shop.

5 out of 5

We went to Virgin Gorda (the baths) walked through boulders, caves and snorkeled at the beaches. It was beautiful but not enough time spent there. We had a half hour in one area and another half hour at the final destination beach - wish we had more time there.
