This was our honeymoon cruise departing San Juan on 2/10/07. We're 50 & 46. We've cruised previously with Royal Caribbean twice and Carnival once but our travel agent suggested Princess this time. We've loved RCI but are trying others just to determine which fits us best.

We used the cruise line transfer from airport to ship and that went very smoothly. Arrived at port at approximately 2:30 and got right on the ship; no lines. We were impressed how they made everyone boarding clean their hands with a squirt of antibacterial gel to avoid a major illness while cruising (this was also evident at the entrance to every dining room & buffet throughout the cruise... a very good idea). We went right to our cabin to change into shorts or a swimsuit. We always pack a casual bag for the change but I normally do not include dinner clothes; those come in the checked baggage. Well, our bags did not arrive until after 8:30pm so I was forced to wear my little swim skirt to dinner as a regular skirt paired with a little tank top! Note to self: pack dinner clothes in that carry on!

We specifically booked a cabin on Caribe deck: the balconies are twice as large as on all other decks and are partially covered. You have plenty of room to sun yourself if you choose or stay in the shade on your chaise and read a book. Loved it!! The cabin was average but well laid out. Carpets were stained but the rest was very clean. Our steward, David, was not very visible but kept our room immaculate and brought us robes when we found we had none. Whenever we needed him we called on the phone and he quickly appeared.
