Pre cruise -- Stayed at the Fairfield Inn, Windsor Locks CT to take advantage of the park/sleep/fly pre flight. Hotels was adequate for a one night stay. Nothing fancy or special, but it was clean and felt safe. Took the shuttle to the airport at 5:30 am and breezed through checking our bags and security. Flight left on time and arrived in Puerto Rico at 12:30.

We had booked through Hotwire at the Intercontinental for both the pre and post night cruise stays with rates of $115 for one night, $130 for the other. I was not overly impressed with hotel -- I found it on the noisy side, and the staff seems a little put out when they see you booked through Hotwire. I also found that the hotel seemed to have inconsistent pricing at the bars - so be careful to check which bar charges what price if you stay there.

Our room was not ready, so we headed to the pool with the promise of a phone call when it was. The phone call never came, and the staff person at the check in desk was a bit rude when my husband went to check at 4:00 as the reservation was in my name. The fact that we had checked in with his ID and credit card didn't seem to matter to her, so I had to come up and wait in line AGAIN to get the room. We showered and dressed, then headed to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for dinner. This is a VERY PRICEY restaurant, but the meal and service were fantastic. This was our splurge dinner for the trip, and we had a great night.

Cabin Review

Ocean View

Cabin 6C

Great location for the cabin, very convenient for getting around the ship easily. Adjoining cabin door made it too easy to hear the people next door, we will avoid adjoining cabins in the future.

Life vests were stored in a cabinet under the TV, which leaves more closet space - that was very nice. Cabin had a comfortable couch and small (somewhat useless) table.
