Additional details
San Juan is a beautiful departure port. You feel like you are in Europe in Old San Juan. The old forts are interesting to visit. It costs only $5 to visit both forts and they are in walking distance from each other. However, hotels and restaurants are expensive. Plaza Las Americas is one of the largest malls I have ever seen - Macy's, J.C. Penney, Sears,and thousands of other stores. Prices are still better in St. Marten however, yet St. Marten caters to high end designer brands.
I chose this cruise because it was port intensive. I got to sample six different islands.
San Juan - safe and lots to do.
Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom
Room was clean. Lots of space. Quiet area. We could feel the swaying of the ship. Next time I will ask for a room lower down.
