DW and I are in our early 30's and have two young children (they stayed home). This was our 2nd cruise and our 1st with Princess (RCCl, Explorer of the Seas was our 1st)

We cruised on Saturday March 24 and returned the 31 out of San Juan. We arrived into San Juan the day before. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Condado. For the money, this hotel was perfect. It's a decent location, near the beach, shopping and food. With a tip taxi fare from the airport was $20 and it was $20 to the terminal from the hotel as well.

We arrived at the terminal on Saturday around 11:30. Princess started the check-in process around 12:30 and after a brief stop at the duty free at the terminal we were in our stateroom around 1:15. This was a pleasant surprise. Our bags arrived to our room around 2:30-3, just as the porter said they would. Read more
