My husband and I booked this cruise mostly for the ports of call everyday and getting the most bang for our buck. We are so glad we did and loved every minute of it!

We were a little worried about the weather because Hurricane Igor had just passed by and the weather forecast said it would rain everyday. We were lucky and had awesome weather everyday.

We arrived a day early and stayed at Courtyard Miramar. Although the hotel was nice, it was away from everything. We wound up walking to Walgreens and subway and then going back to the room for an early night. The next day we had breakfast at the hotel and headed to the ship around 11. We waited for about 30 minutes at the pier before they let us into the cruise terminal. Check in was all of 10 minutes and then you had the option to leave the terminal and go into Old San Juan or wait to board the ship. They didn't begin boarding until close to 1 but after our number was called we quickly got on, explored, had some lunch then headed out to Old San Juan to go to the forts and do some shopping.
