7 Night Deep Southern Caribbean (San Juan Roundtrip)

Sail date: September 18, 2011

Ship: Serenade of the Seas

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 12 years ago

Review summary

The ship is kept very clean but looks a bit old. The activities could be a little more diverse. The food was great but the Windjammer was not open as often as other buffets on other ships. There was a late night charge for room service which I have never had before. All in all the food was very good and the service was friendly and professional.

This was the smallest room I have ever been in but was kept very clean. Bathroom had a bit of a bad smell but could be where we were located on the ship since we would have that same smell in the same part of the hallway a little way down from our cabin

Surprisingly the people are a bit nasty and rude. The Island is very pretty but not much to see on a tour excursion. Most touring excursions were considered very boring. Several people expressed that same view

Have to pay good attention with the cab drivers. Personnel at curbside told us that the cab was $20 but the cab driver insisted it was $27 after we were half way to our destination.
