Spent 3 days precruise in San Juan at the Caribe Hilton. Got it on Priceline and couldn't believe the wonderful room we were in!! On Sun. we left for the ship and arrived at 11:45. When we got on board I looked at my watch and it was 12:04. The most painless and best embarkation we've done. Had PR cabin, and it was clean and nice. Didn't spend too much time there, but plenty of storage and bathroom was nice. Like the shower doors better than curtains. Bedding is terrible and really needs replaced. Ask for an eggcrate, it really helps!! Ship is beautiful. Promenade is fun!! Champagne bar is great as is the bartenders there!! Food was great in dining room and it was fine in the windjammer buffet. We went to Portofinos one night and it was unbelievable both in taste and presentation. Had breakfast 3 times in the dining room and the food was better than in the windjammer. Ports: They were all great. Curacao was our least favorite, Aruba and St. Martin our favorites. Just our opinions as others will differ. Cd is good, but people said Richard Spacey was so much better, it was a let down.

No problems with any people on board. Not that everyone was great, but there was rudeness from all. To be expected from over 3000 people. We only saw 3 incidents. We toured in Aruba with a huge group of Puerto Ricans and we had so much fun. They included us and made it very fun for us. Did not go to all the shows. They were good, the ones we saw. Ice Show is fantastic and should not be missed. Debarkation was easy and painless and the fastest we have ever done. We were off the ship and to the airport by 9 a.m for a 1 o'clock flight. Best cruise so far. We will most likely do this one again!!!!! One last thing, for all the chair savers out there,,they did not allow it on this sailing. I would get a chair around 8 a.m. on sea days and watch the staff go around collecting towels and items. Our tablemates talked to them and they said if after walking around and 30 mins. had passed, the items were taken. It was something to watch the people come back and surprise!!!!!!!!!! So, if you are going to save chairs, someone better sit there with them!!!
