Review summary

For our first cruise, this was one for the books. Great food and drinks, lots of fun was had by all in our party. Disappointed by not getting to see San Juan and feel more could have been done to make up for that. I would like more local type food while on the islands. Staff was excellent!

Good, relaxing beach. Local sellers are very pushy by Columbus Beach.

San Juan, Puerto Rico Did not visit port

There was another ship in the berth we needed and it was having mechanical difficulties so we could not dock.
