The Adventure of the Seas is a fabulous ship. The 7-Day Southern Caribbean cruise even with 2 full days at sea, still didn't seem to give us enough time to see and do everything there is to do onboard.

My wife and I met fifteen of my family and friends onboard. We all set up our own transportation to San Juan and on San Juan.

San Juan- We arrived a day early and stayed at the El Canaro by the Sea. We found it a nice clean hotel that was great for a one night stay. It was directly between the Airport an the PanAmerican Cruise terminal. We did have someone in the group that stayed at El Canaro Inn and said it was horrible. No elevator and it was kind of creepy. Sunday morning we got up early, enjoyed their "tropical continental breakfast" at the hotel, and then took a cab to the Old San Juan Fort. It was a nice place to visit and walk around. You can also get a great view of the city, and the cruise ship from up there. Unfortunately, the shops in Old San Juan are closed on Sunday, but there are more opportunities to do your shopping elsewhere. We checked out at 11:30 and took a cab to the cruise terminal. After dropping our luggage at the curbside, we were on the ship within 30-minutes. They have all the doors to the cabins looked until 2pm sharp. However, you are free to roam the ship and eat lunch at the WindJammer Cafe. We did not get our luggage until after dinner, but the dinning room was very accepting of casual clothes the first night.
