We have been on this tour about six years ago, but we had to fly to San Juan. Since we now live in Florida just going to Ft. Lauderdale was a 45 minute ride.
Love this itinerary.
Having two days before going to the next six islands then resting for two days after tours was a great.
We had an outside cabin. Room is adequate for us, since we are out of room most of the time and only sleep there.
