This was our seventh cruise (3rd on RCCL, 2 Princess, 1 ea Carnival and Norwegian).
We flew to San Juan, stayed at the Embassy Suites. Took Island Kayaking for the Bio Bay and Atlantic San Juan Tours for the Rain Forest. Two class acts. Andres from Atlantic took us to the ship. Arrived at the ship a little aft 2 pm on Sunday Oct 9. Lines were long, but moving. The baggage check in line was well handled, then had to get back in the line for the actual check in. Inside the terminal, the lines moved smoothly. Sail Pass made the check in very easy. Within an hour, we were on board, in our cabin and upstairs for lunch. The Cruise Critic group had decided on Blue wristbands to stand out. And a member of our group made door signs for all of us. She then put them on our doors. Made for a great welcome. The meet and Mingle invite was waiting for us when we arrived.
Sailing went without a hitch. It was raining in San Juan and we had rain (heavy at times) the next day in St Thomas. We used Godfrey for the tour here. Not his fault that the weather did not cooperate and the tour was hindered by the cloud cover. But enjoyable.
