This was our first cruise with RCCL. My wife and I both turned 40 in the past few months and decided to celebrate it with a cruise just for us. We left the kids behind and because we were not cruising with our kids opted to not go on Disney this time around.

We stayed in San Juan the night before embarkation, enjoying Old San Juan, shopping and eating dinner in town. As our cab pulled up to the terminal, we feared a long wait to get baggage to the porters. While it did take about 25 minites to get to the front of the line, once we handed our bags off, we were whisked into the check in and walked right up to the counter, had our Sea Passes and were getting our welcome aboard photos withing 10 minutes of handing the bags off. Very quick and easy check in.

Room was ready at 1:30PM. We had a great room attendent, name Marley (or Marlie) who was from Nicoragua. Did a great job all week. Ice 2x per day, extension cord for my CPAP, etc. Read more
