Sail Date: Dec 2019
Cabin: Mini-Suite with Balcony (Connecting Stateroom)

Well, I have had this cruise booked for over a year as soon as the schedule for her came out with Caribbean cruises. She looked amazing when you checked out the advertisements. She was only sailing for three weeks before we went on her.

Originally I had booked a mini-suite on deck 8 and it was pricey but we had a lot of perks including free gratuities, $300.00 OBC, 250 minutes of WiFi and some shore excursion credit.

About six months later (a guess) my TA called to say they had a much better deal on where I would book a “Sail Away” cabin and save nearly $1,000.00 but lose all the perks I had with the first booking. So we changed to the second reservation and the cruise line got to pick my cabin for me. It was still a mini-suite and they are normally very nice.

Cabin Review

Mini-Suite with Balcony (Connecting Stateroom)

Run don't walk away from this cabin. It is directly above the Cavern Club so you will not be able to sleep until after midnight. Not enough storage and due to the bars on deck 8 you do not have a view (directly down) of the water. Does have a bathtub.

Port Reviews

San Juan

Ridiculous to have a port stop at 5:30 at night! Cannot go on sight seeing or to beaches.

St. Thomas
