Sail Date: Feb 2009

We sailed on the Caribbean Princess from San Juan on Feb. 22nd. This was our 2nd cruise on Princess. We were 2 couples, ranging in age from 40 to 51.

We arrived in San Juan on the 21st and stayed at the Doubletree San Juan, formerly the Best Western Hotel Pierre. It was very nice. Newly renovated and decorated in a very modern style. The hotel staff was helpful and it was in a very good location in the Condado/Isla Verde area. There was a SuperMax grocery store right across the street which was very convenient for precruise supplies. Cab fare from airport to hotel was $25.00 and about the same from the hotel to the Pan Am pier.

We got to the pier about 11:45am and a fair sized line had formed already. Around noon we were allowed inside the terminal and after a little while were moved to the check in area. We were on board and in our cabin by 1pm.

Cabin Review

Cabin ?

We had lots of closet and storage space. The new flat screen TV was a nice upgrade. I like the inside cabin for it's dark cave-like confines which makes sleeping easy! The only minor complaint I had was the shower curtain. It wouldn't always adhere to the bottom lip of the shower stall and would allow water to get all over the bath floor. You had to be careful with it! Otherwise, it was a great. It was just 1 floor down from the pools and buffetts. We never had any noise problems from overhead at all.
