Been on about 10 cruises. Picked this one for a reasonably priced short getaway. Used Southwest for air out of Baltimore to San Juan. Flights filled fast and prices went up accordingly. Two couples traveling together.

Flight was without incident. No need to take transfers from airport to ship (Pan American Terminal). Many cabs available for 15-20 min. ride. Exit air terminal and queue up at cab stand where you get a piece of paper for the price and are ushered to a waiting cab. Party of 4 was $28 plus tip for cabby.

Did not wait for "appointed time" for embarkation which went smoothly. Inside terminal on the left is a wine and liquor store. Two 750 ml bottles of wine allowed to be carried on per person. Frankly, the liquor store bag was not checked by anyone. Read more
