Did you sail on the dawn out of San Juan?

Yes, NCL Dawn from San Juan, Nov26th - Dec3rd.

I googled a bit and found out, that NCL provided some big discounts to locals, this explains the crowd. I'm all for helping PR and did it myself too, but when it comes to a cruise, I'd rather pick another one if I knew...

If you're sailing from Puerto Rico, perhaps you will be surprised by the loud super active crowd of Latin people not speaking English. We are just back from a cruise to South Caribbeans, and it was not relaxing experience at all.

Initially we booked our cruise on a low season in hope to enjoy less crowds aboard, but the cruise was fully booked.

It was hard to find seats in the Garden cafe most of the time, Aqua or Venetian were very busy too at some times, so we had to wake up earlier to avoid crowds.

Comparing to our other two NCL cruises, food on that one was noticeably more basic and limited in terms of variety.

Overall impression is that it was a bad value this time not worth extra money we paid. Previously it was much better, so it either depends on the itinerary or the company started saving money.
