San Juan Cruise to the Southern Caribbean

The trip to the airport and the stay overnight was a great start to a long awaited journey. The flight to San Juan and the cab to our Hotel were fairly painless. We stayed at Comfort Inn in Condado, about five miles to the piers in Old San Juan. I would recommend staying in a nicer Hotel. This was the week of the annual festival and the first night. We ate at Angles, where they served authentic Puerto Rican food and drank some Medalla light. We walked to Old San Juan early that evening (what a walk). The party was just starting and the Police were out at full force. We didn't stay long before heading back to the Hotel. Everything seemed a bit pricey, beer was expensive and a bottle only had 9.75 oz in it. Not real impressed with San Juan.

The next morning at 10:45 we got a cab to the Serenade. Around 1:00 we were on the ship. Our carry-on luggage was searched very well; however, I did get 12 bottles of beer on in our check-in luggage. We went straight to the Sky Bar and purchased a couple beers and then to the buffet. At 4:00 some of the Cruise Critic Members met up at the Sky Bar to talk about what we talked about months prior to this cruise. Read more
