Are there any good spots for snorkeling in San Juan? 

My husband and I will be embarking on our very first cruise in a couple of weeks to Southern Caribbean. Ports of call include St. Thomas, St. Maarten, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, and Barbados and we will have some time in San Juan before and after the cruise. Any specific recommendations on zipline experiences on any of these islands? Where are the best beaches for snorkeling in Southern Caribbean? 

My husband and I have booked our very first cruise (for June 2019). We are trying to figure out how important it is to get cruise insurance as well as whether to pay gratuities prior to the cruise or at the end. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! 

I'm sorry, I did not mean that I want the cruise to be entirely kid-free. I just meant that my husband and I (and the two couples who are coming with us) are leaving OUR kids at home and want to enjoy time away. We don't mind if there are kids on the cruise as long as there are adult-only forms of entertainment and areas (which it sounds like both Carnival and Royal Caribbean provide). Yes? 

My husband and I are in the beginning stages of planning our first cruise and I am trying to decide whether to go with Carnival or Royal Caribbean. We are going with two other couples (no kids) and our goal is to enjoy kid-free adult time- some drinking/partying and some relaxing. We've narrowed down our search to one option on the Carnival Magic ship, one option on the Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas ship and one option on the Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas ship. Any opinions??
