Review summary

Well worth the money. We will definitely repeat this itinerary, but we will enjoy the ship on the day it pulls into Ponce. RCI should remove this port from the itinerary until PR works to make it a cruise destination.

Ports of call

Ponce, Puerto Rico

1 out of 5
WORST PORT EVER on RCI (9 cruises). The ship is parked a 20 minute cab ride from town. No excursions, no sanctioned shopping. Town was dirty, lots of boarded up shops, NO DAMAGE FROM HURRICANE!!!, just the worst place I've visited with the cruise line.

Basseterre, St. Kitts
