My husband and I took the Southern Caribbean Cruise from March 16-23rd out of San Juan, PR.

Embarkation: We flew in to San Juan and landed around 11:30 am. We took the prepaid carnival transfer and got to the terminal around 1:00 pm. The line wasn't long at all. We quickly checked in, got our sail & sign card and were up on our way to duty free shop. We tried some free samples and hubby had a field day stocking up on liquor. We also got some coke, stored it all on our carry on and made it through security without any issues. We were inside the ship within an hour of getting there. Rooms weren't going to be ready till 2:30 so we grabbed some lunch and walked around the ship.

We had room 7102 which was a decent size ocean view. I was really afraid about the condition of the ship from what I read but I thought it was fine. It's an old ship but there was nothing that concerned me. Dinner on first day was open arrangement. You got seated as you arrived. Read more
