We live in PA, and after a short 1 1/2 hour trip, arrived about noon, at the new (to us) Locust Point Port. This is a huge improvement over the old Dundalk Terminal. We parked in row 2, and were on-board by 12:30pm. Kudos to Royal Caribbean. Quick and painless. Access to the cabins was restricted until after 1pm. Cabin was OK, we are used to the frames being a few inches taller, so we can stow the luggage underneath, but had to keep the luggage in the closet.

We were traveling with a large family group. Sail away on Deck 9 was wild. We had 2 sea days before we arrived at San Juan. Our itinerary was San Juan, PR; Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas VI; Samana, Dominican Republic; and Labadee Haiti.

I would say that Samana was HOT. The tender ride was HOT, the walk to town was HOT, the shopping was HOT, and the tender ride back was HOT. That is one port that will be an additional ship day for us next time. Labadee was fun - there were all ages in our group - and they tried everything - parasailing, snorkeling, zip line, swimming, beach mat. They also said the lunch was good. We didn't stay for lunch.
