The main reason for choosing this cruise was the length and itinerary. What we ended up finding were some nice upgrades to the Glory and fresh activities which included the long lost midnight buffet. If your vacation experience must include tablecloths and decorative pats of butter in the main. Dining hall, you may find yourself disappointed. We are more relaxed with this sort of stuff. ...
This was the seventh cruise for my wife and I and our sixth with Carnival. We traveled with two other couples (one couple were first time cruisers and the other couple had been on a Princess cruise). We are all in our mid to late 30's. We arrived in San Juan and spent two nights at the Hilton Condado Plaza before boarding the ship. We found this to be a good place to stay pre-cruise. It is an ...
This was our 9th Carnival cruise and was really wonderful. We flew in a day early to San Juan for this journeys cruise. We stayed at the Hotel Milano located in Old San Juan, nice price, excellent location. Headed out to the ship around 11 am, we were through checkin and onboard in less than 10 minutes from arriving to the port.
We had a vista suite cabin 4237 and my parents had vista ...
Stayed one night prior to cruise in San Juan, Puerto Rico at the El Canario Lagoon hotel. It was a budget hotel and worth the price. Nice, clean, no frills hotel. We embarked on 1/17/16 at 10pm for a 7-night cruise with stops in St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, and St. Maarten. We purchased the "faster to the fun" excursion and it was well worth it. We skipped past any lines and were ...
This was my DW and my 4th cruise and 3rd with Carnival. My wife picked this cruise because of the itinerary and I'm glad she did, as we thoroughly enjoyed all of the ports!
We did learn some valuable lessons on this trip. We were using points to fly to San Juan, so I'm assuming because of the holiday, we got the best deal flying in on the 3rd, which was the day we sailed. Because we didn't ...
This was my second cruise and it was a party of 8 of us from Virginia. We reserved 4 cabins (an inside, ocean view, balcony and a handicapped inside cabin) We planned this cruise 6 months in advance and embarked out of San Juan, PR and were set to sail on the Carnival Liberty. We were all very impressed with the welcome by the cruise staff, they had champagne/non-alcoholic drinks and lunch waiting ...
We have cruised several times on Carnival, but this is our first cruise on Liberty and from San Juan. We stayed couple nights in San Juan before boarding the ship and we had great time touring and eating in old San Juan.
Embarkation was slow, rough and lacked organization or disciplines. Disembarkation was a chaos that lasted for over 2 hours. This was the only bad part of the trip.
The ...
My wife and I sailed on the Carnival Sunshine with 3 other couples out of Puerto Rico December 9. We flew in the day before and boarded around 1 p.m. There were no lines and it was the fastest boarding we have experienced in the 12 cruises we have taken. They publish that boarding starts at 2:30 p.m. but we heard that they actually started at 10 a.m. We all thought that the food was great. We ...
I really enjoyed this ship. Boarding was easy in San Juan, the room was ready when we arrived (usually you have to wait hours), luggage came before dinner. The staff friendly and welcoming. I love the variety of restaurants, from Guy's Burger Joint to Mexican to Spanish and everything in between. Each restaurant area having their own theme didn't feel like the traditional "buffet" of a cruise ...
We landed in San Juan at 12:20 and got a taxi to port for less then Carnival transfer. Bags were tagged and taken away. We were on the ship eating fish and chips by 1:30. Ship is vary clean and service is great..
We love this cruise it is the 5th and 6th time we have taken it. We did a inside room for the first time since it is so port intensive and it worked out ok. Every thing was about the ...
