Choose this cruise because of the 2 for 1 pricing they were offering to attract North American customers as they build a business in the Caribbean. We went with four other couples so finding a cruise at a relatively low price was important. Well, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for!
The ship itself is stunningly beautiful. The interior design of common areas and lounges is very well done. The positives are the entertainment in both the shows and the acts in the lounges is top notch. The variety of music and lounges has something for everyone. The casino is very nice and all of the bars are well staffed and very friendly. Both the embarkation and disembarkation were as smooth as any I have experience on numerous cruises and cruise lines.
The negatives are this ship was extremely crowded and it felt like it. The main pool deck, buffet, and many of the other common areas were VERY crowded. Any I suspect due to the price there were lots of young children running up and down the halls in the cabin areas and around the ship. Very few adults only areas to escape if you want peace and quiet, the one place we did find they charged for.
Cabin was nice, ample closet space. Shower very small even for a cruise ship and balcony was tiny. Bed was very comfortable.
Miami is a great place to depart from, get there a day or so ahead of time. Cruise terminal is very near Miami beach and South Beach so good dinning and entertainment options as well as great beaches and plenty to see.
Not a whole lot going on here, a little shopping and the Atlantis if you want to hit the casino but the main resort at Atlantis/Paradise Island off limits to non-guests.
Nice island, easy access from ship, shopping, beaches and plenty of water activities.
Lots to do and see here. Old San Juan where you dock has good food, interesting shops, and an old world feel. Lots of great sightseeing, the old fort a must see.
