This cruise was excellent and it was one of the best. This was my 1st cruise on Celebrity and my Parents 2nd, Their first Celebrity cruise was aboard the Constellation. This was my 3rd cruise and my parents 6th and this was one of the best.

My family arrived the day before (Jan 29) into San Juan on United 699 from Washington Dulles and had a great flight down to SJU. Once we arrived, we stayed at the Courtyard Isla Verde Resort, 7012 Ave. Bosa de Cangrejos Carolina,PR 00979. We stayed in room 307 and the room was very big and the beds were very comfortable. We got this Hotel from Hotwire for $102 and it is a 3.5* and was a great hotel stay. The beach was great, which is what my family wanted. The hotel is located very close to the Airport though and the airplanes were taking off by our hotel which didn't bother me but if you want peace and quiet, you probably might want to take this hotel out of the question. I like flying and airplanes, so I loved this hotel because I got to see all the planes takeoff. We were able to walk to the grocery store,and also Denny's for breakfast which was good. For dinner we had excellent Puerto Rican/Cuban food at "Metropol" which was directly across from Denny's. The air traffic at night did not bother us because we kept the balcony door closed all night. Very Nice stay at this hotel and a pretty good Location.

We checked out of the hotel and they allowed us to use the beach until we wanted to go to the pier. Read more
