We are a couple in our late 50s early 60s and this was our 7th cruise. We have sailed on RCCL,Princess and Disney.
We flew from Philadelphia on Oct 1 which was the day of sailing and in fact met some members of our CC board in the airport. Flight was fine and we arrived on time. Getting our luggage in San Juan was kind of slow but we dis get it and headed for a cab. We met up with our CC buddies and got a cab with them and I think it cost us about $15 a couple.
The lines were kind of long at the pier but we were through there within about 30 minutes. We dropped our bags in our room (it was after 2) and went to the buffet to gave a bite and then explore the ship.
