Traveled with children

Chose this cruise as it was a fantastic deal - drinks on us, balcony for 1 week for 4 folks for $2300.

Awesome: Cruise Critic Party - it was my best one to date- the passed hor d'oerves /drinks/ships crew, etc. They know how to do it; special order Indian food - fantastic every night. Ship - just beautiful.... Room steward - she was amazing and did really hard work.

Great: staff personality - casino, room steward, dining staff, entertainment staff; Also behind the scenes walkthru of the fancy restaurants - they were soo warm/friendly. Michael Jackson show was amazing; so was BeerProv - saw them 4x, got to meet the owner Jim at breakfast 1 morn; Alcohol pricing - 20% off of 2 bottles was better than I can get from Total Wine in GA; Lounge music in Haven was really really awesome every night; and bar service was great.

Cabin Review

Fantastica Balcony Stateroom

Cabin B2

Room: shower bit too small- needs another 6"; toilet - can't believe you have to sit sideways on it as they built in a sink to the side; Not enough storage places for 4 people - had to leave some clothes in suitcases under bed.

Room size was average

Port Reviews

San Juan

San Juan had mostly recovered from hurricane. Cruise getting in at 5pm, we got to El Morro quickly but it closed at 6pm, and 7 min is too short to pay the full entrance fee. Got to eat at our fav. restaurant Cafe Berlin, and saw the street with umbrellas.
