This was our fourth family cruise. we sailed out of San Juan the first week of June 2012 for 7 nights on the Carnival Victory. The reason we picked this cruise is because there was only one day at sea. We like to swim, snorkel and explore the islands.
PROS: Embarkation was fast and efficient. Checked in at 12:30. left to sight see around Old San Juan and back on board and in our balcony rooms at 3pm. Our luggage soon followed.
PROS: Best part of the caribbean we have seen. Visited: St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. kit ts and St. Marten. We did not go through the ships excursions because we have found a website called shoretrips.com that offers more for the same amount of money or less, without the crowds of the ship. We will always book through them from now on. Great experience and all day off the boat without rushing through the day.
We stayed in cabins 6380 and 6382. Across the hall from crew quarters and above the Arctic Lounge. Music didn't stop until 3am everyday. Would not cruise on this ship again. Walls are paper thin. We could hear everyone walking down the hall no matter what time it was. bathrooms very tired and no shower water pressure. The only good thing about this cabin was the balcony for escape.
