Additional details
Clean,good safe ports, excellent service.The kids loved the ice cream machines. The lemonade and coffee was always good. Enjoyed Fish and Chips. Found it the last couple days. Didn't wait to eat at late seating dining room. 8:15 was too late for young children to eat. We should of signed up for 6:00 right away. That time slot was full.
Rented a cabana at margaritaville grand Turk. Good choice for a tired family. Mostly used it to store our stuff while we hung out at the beach. Food at margaritaville is over priced. Our bill for some chips and a couple drinks and sodas. $110.00. Wait staff gets an automatic %15 yet begged for more. I would skip eating and drinking there.
Favorite port stop was San Juan. Walked to Pier 2 and boarded the aqua Ferry for .50 then caught a taxi bus for 6.00 to Bacardi Rum at the yellow taxi terminal. Toured the historic tour for $12.00. Great drink and information. Back for another 6.00 and Ferry for another .50. After that we walked old San Juan and hiked to the fort. The Forts are National Parks. Always felt safe in Old San Juan.

Port Reviews
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)
Clean pool. Used the lockers. Went on an excursion to ocean world. The bus was clean and safe to get there. The shows are o.k. The kids liked it there. Ate a pizza and drank some beers and sodas there. Prices are fair.
St. Thomas
With fun crew on castaway girl. Great staff and awesome Rum Punch. Crowded area to snorkle with at least 4 other groups there.
San Juan
Great history here
San Juan
Grab a map and just walk.
Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Very helpful with getting on our ship. Avis rent a car was great. Stayed at international palms at a reasonable rate. Port Canaveral is all about tourists. Great place.
Grand Turk
Spring break crowds. Over priced everything.
