Our cruise was the last on the Summit before she went into drydock so I know there will be many changes ahead, but we enjoyed the ship and the ports a lot.

We flew into San Juan early because we did not want to take any chances with winter weather. Stayed at the Sheraton Old San Juan and spent the day touring Old San Juan. It was nice to have a full day in San Juan before the cruise. We walked the streets and went to both the forts. Lunch was in a cafe in Old San Juan frequented by lots of locals. The Sheraton was a great location for a pre-cruise hotel. There is a CVS right by the hotel where you can pick up anything you forgot for the trip.

Embarkation was smooth. The Sheraton let us keep the room till noon and then we took a taxi over to the cruise ship. There were few people in line to check in so we were on the ship quickly and went to use a lounge chair by the pool till the rooms were ready. The rooms were ready at 1 p.m. We had lunch at the AquaSpa Cafe which was a great place for a nice light healthy lunch. They would make Salmon for you on the grill and it was the best.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Ocean View with Balcony 2A

Cabin 2A

The cabin seemed small to me but my husband liked it better than others we have been on. Balcony is small and overlooks lifeboats. It holds two chairs and a small table. One wall in the cabin is covered in mirrors which is sort of freaky, but once again, cruise ship style. The location is very good. Close to stairs and elevator but not too close. Also a good spot on Deck 7 because you are a few decks below the pools and buffet at Deck 10 and a few decks above the dining room.
