Background Info: We were on the 3/3/07 sailing from San Juan. We are a couple in our late 20s who do not have children. We sailed with another couple in their late 50s. This was our very first cruise.

Hotel Info: We arrived in San Juan on 2/28 so that we could have a couple of days to see Puerto Rico. We stayed at the Wind Chimes Inn and it was just lovely! A beautiful and comfortable inn near the Condado/Ocean Park area. However, they do require a minimum of 3 nights stay for all guests, so this may not be the best place for cruisers. We had a great time in Puerto Rico pre-cruise as we went deep sea fishing and took a trip to the El Yunque Rainforest and Bio-Bay in Fajardo.

Ship Info: As we've never been up close to a cruise ship before, we were quite overwhelmed! The Crown Princess is a large and lovely vessel, and every detail radiates elegance. When we first boarded, we entered the beautiful Piazza area, and rode up the glass elevators to our balcony stateroom, where we were immediately met by our room steward, Ariel. Ariel was an absolute gem- extremely attentive and willing to do all he could to make us comfortable. Our luggage arrived an hour after we got to our state room and Ariel was happy to provide us with additional hangers for our clothes. Read more
