Overall this was a great cruise with minor issues. We flew into SJU on Saturday and stayed at the Caribe Hilton. Nice property and easy drive from the airport. We were prepared for major traffic on Sunday, but it was not as bad as I was expecting. We had The Key and arrived about 10:45am. We were staged and moving in about 11:30. Being the first group, we were through check-in and onto the ship in minutes. We dropped carry-on luggage at The Key designated area and went to lunch in the MDR with the Chops "partial" menu. We were on the pool deck by 1:30 and rooms were ready about 2:15pm.

Bar service was good for the week, but selection struggled at times with running out of specific items. Overall I thought the new MDR menus were an improvement and the food was better that the past few years. Service struggled a bit and I am not sure if that was due to staffing shortages or large numbers of new staff. Our waiter said the company lost a lot of experienced staff during COVID.

Stateroom attendant was wonderful with cleaning and turn down. No issue with the room at all. Wi-Fi was intermittent all week. Read more
