Hi All! We just returned from our first cruise on the Carnival Destiny.. I would rate the week a 9!!! Maybe a 10 except for the hair dryer (LOL- it gave me an excuse for not wasting time doing my hair!) Lets put it this way, I brought 3 books with me and didn't read ONE page! So let me get started! Oh yes the music was very loud on the Lido deck.. wish they could have turned it down, but many people seemed to like it.

We flew in a day early.. Denver, Miami (flight canceled had to only wait 2 hours for next one.. American Airlines) to San Juan. Arrived at about 7PM. Took cab ($12) to Condado (excuse my spelling for some of the towns) and stayed at Coral Princess Hotel. Booked on Hotels.com -four in our room, two couples for $150 total. Another couple had small room for $99. VERY clean, great continental breakfast in outdoor patio. Small pool and rooftop hot tub. Fridge, Micro and Whirlpool tubs in room. Walking distance to Marriott, Pizza Hut, Fuddruckers and superb beach! Went to beach in the am and then headed ($20) cab for 6 of us to our Destiny!

Took about 1 hour to get on board, lots of lines, but air conditioned building now! Pictures and bought liquor at duty free shop, put in purse and walked on board with it. Laughed when we walked by the Liquor "check in" table.
