We like cruising out of San Juan. It's real easy to get on the ship and the Old Town section is right across the street from the pier if you want to check out San Juan after dropping off the luggage. If you have priority boarding (platinum--diamond or FTTF) you can get on the ship and drop off you carry on bags and go back out on the town since ship doesn't sail until 10 pm.

We had a balcony cabin on the Lido and had a great steward. The Lido is very close to the pool, Buffet, Guy's Burgers & Taco/Burrito bar. The entire cruise was nice except for the MDR breakfast. We found the food to be a let down from previous years. The waffles were a little cool and soft like they had been sitting in the kitchen. The poached eggs were always good except this cruise when the yokes were hard and not runny. The MDR dinners were good and the steak house was awesome as always. Go to the steak house the first night and receive a bottle of wine for your table. We had 8 in our group and we got 2 bottles.

Getting off the ship was real easy also. This was the first time cruising that passengers were allowed off before 8 am. Cabs were also plentiful out front of the terminal. Standard one way fee of $21.00
