We have returned from our latest cruise with the most definite position that this was one cruise that was not up to par.
First, the embarkation at the terminal went very smoothly. We had always heard that San Juan was a terrible terminal, but we found it to be exactly the opposite. Leaving the port at 10:00 pm gave everyone the opportunity to relax and believe it or not, our luggage was delivered to our stateroom within a couple of hours. Very nice.
However, at dinner that night, we discovered that the 12 of us were seated at different tables according to our Sail and Sign cards. We then learned that we were seated in three connecting booths which made it very difficult to talk to each other. We usually only count on seeing each other at dinner, thus that is why we wish to all be seated together.
