Just got back from the Carnival Victory cruise and had to share my review and experiences with all.
7 Day cruise to South Caribbean from San Juan, PR. Sailed August 19 2012
Embarkation was smooth however the gangway had some mechanical issues; so we had to wait about 1 hour before we were able to board. Some people may suggest to arrive one day earlier to the port to avoid the stress associated with boarding. However, we booked the earliest flights out of our city (Toronto) and managed to arrive in San Juan just after 12 pm. Taxi service to the Port was approx 25 US dollars for 4 passengers and 4 pieces of luggage - travel time was about 25 minutes.
