A rocky outcrop right by the island’s wharf is home to some of the most easily-accessible coral, making this almost too easy to enjoy.

Really good shop with lots going on all day and every evening. The formal nights were not very popular with the majority of the customers though. Really good food especially if you have the premium package. Our biggest problems was booking through Iglu cruises. I would not recommend sailing from San Juan as the port is capable of accommodating large cruise ships. The port was gridlocked for several hours with taxis not being able to get into or out of the port.
Our biggest issue was that we were not able to book the speciality restaurants although we paid for the premium package that allowed us to use these dining venues for no extra cost. This was due to the Iglu policy where payment to the cruise line is maxed weeks after you make your final payment to Iglu. When Iglu had made the final payment on our behalf we tried to book these venues but we weee unable to do so as they were already fully booked.

Compared to other cruise ships we have sailed on, our cabin was a little too small. the shower unit was much too small and the fixed shower head proved to be difficult for my wife to use. As she is only 5' tall a flexible shower hose would have been much easier for her to use. this applied to the other member of our group in the next cabin as well. .

I have just spent a couple of hours reviewing the Princess Cruise.
Comparing this cruise with our previous cruises, Princess come the bottom of our list. Because: the cabin was too small, the drinks packages were far too expensive (so did not use and became tea totalers), the restaurants that did not cost extra were disappointing (the Buffet was very good though), the whole enterprise seemed "money grabbing" (eg. no free soft drinks, no cold water without ice).
