We just got back from a wonderful cruise onboard the Adventure of the Seas (RCCL). Before we departed for this vacation we read some negative and positive comments about this particular cruise departing out of San Juan. Our overall rating for this cruise would be 7 out of 10 (very good). We believe you make what you want of your vacation therefore didn't take the negative comments too much to heart.
We did not prebook transportation through RCCL and actually found that we saved ourselves some money. Taxi's have regulated fares and it was $10.00 US for two people whilst in a vehicle with 6 others. Embarkation was extremely fast and the agents where fun and friendly in San Juan.
Our cabin was an inside cabin near the aft of the ship which was clean and in good condition. You do not leave San Juan until 10pm in the evening so you have a lot of free time getting to see the ship before she sails. It is a little bit strange sailing that late at night however it seems to get the ships atmosphere off to a more softer slower pace as passengers where boarding from early as 1pm and late as 9pm.
