My husband and I booked this cruise last August. Little did we know then that we would have such a brutal winter and how much we would appreciate leaving snow and ice behind. We had cruised with Celebrity before but never on the Millennium. We picked this ship mostly for the itinerary. We prefer port intensive cruises and this itinerary offered four ports that were new to us.
We flew to San Juan the morning before embarkation. We stayed in OSJ at the Howard Johnson Plaza De Armas. This hotel has a great location right in the center of OSJ on a very busy plaza. Location is it's only redeeming quality. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner Sunday night at the Parrot Club in OSJ. Let's just say we were happy to check out the next morning and board the Millie.
We took a taxi around 11:30 to the Pan Am Pier for $20 plus $1 per bag. There was a line to drop off luggage and we were on board enjoying lunch at the Ocean Buffet by Noon. The rooms were available around 1-1:30. When we got to our cabin we found all but one bag of our luggage (the other made it to the room after dinner).
