We use to get balcony cabins, but after we tried an inside we have never looked back. You save a significant amount of money and we are never in our room except to sleep and get ready for dinner. We like to spend the money we save on a balcony room for excursions, specialty restaurants, etc. It all depends on what is important to you. The cabin is low on our list :)
We have been on several cruises Years ago started with a porthole Next cruise a window & then tried a balcony We have never gone back We've even tried suites esp on the older ships Although we don't spend much time in the cabin I like seeing Day & nite Sitting on the balcony enjoying the horizon Evenings late @
Nite enjoying the stars The balconies also appear larger with balcony !When Carnival says 3 people in a balcony They are fine !!Not so much on other cruise lines ??You need to upgrade to a suite

I've heard Old San Juan is pretty much up & running However I agree u need to call hotels directly because we checked several & either full or not up
& running They too rely a lot on tourism So I'm sure it won't be long !!Cruiseport ok & airport also

A lot of choices on cruise line, ships, itineraries and available perks. Suggest you start spelling out to a reputable travel agent all your interests and preferences. I am sure that after your first cruise, you will be eager to do another.

I believe sea day brunch is served instead of dining room
Breakfast on sea days It is really good & something not to miss We Enjoy steak & eggs The earlier u go the better Usually No line but seating is relatively quick Some people don't even know about it Service is a little slow but it's ok Great menu & quite different items Not offered in main dining breakfast
