To start off, a word to the wise. We book a pre night stay in San Juan at the Miramar 10 months in advance. We booked 4 rooms and had confirmation for them. When we got to the hotel, we were surprised to find out we had NO rooms, and they pawned us off on some cheap discount hotel around the corner. It was a complete disaster. Thank god it was only for 1 night.

When we arrived at the pier in San Juan, it looked like a 1,000 people standing outside the terminal. I thought we would be hours waiting to get checked in. We had a priority line to go to since we had a suite, but the rest of our group had to stand in the long long line. We got there are 11:30am.......the line surprisingly went very fast and all of us were on board in the ship in a half hours time. The staff was very courteous at the pier, but their seems to be some confusion getting through the security line. There were in fact no lines at all. It was just one big mob of people and you just had to push your way in.

The ship itself is beautiful, but showing some age. We booked an Owners Suite on deck 10. The suite was huge. Almost 600 sq foot. I was shocked by the size of the balcony though. It was any bigger than a balcony from a regular balcony room, but the inside of the suite made up for it. We did hear a lot of noise from the pool deck area on nights they had events. It wasn't bad enough to keep me awake, but you could hear chairs and people moving about. We had the luxury of having use of a concierge, but we only saw her once. We happened to run into her at the guest relations desk. Overall, I was not disappointed in our cabin and the service we received. Read more
