Ventura Lovely xmas and new year cruise, but standards slipping slightly by lee7661

My family consist of my husband and myself , two boys ages nearly 10 & 17 and my father. We had an effortless flight from Manchester to Barbados. I must say I dislike having to pay for soft drinks on such a long flight. Food was edible enough. On arrival at Barbados we were promptly escorted on to a A/C bus and driven to the cruise terminal. this usually takes about 45Mins, our driver decided to take the back roads and we arrived within 20 mins.

Carnival Valor Great itinerary by joby69

We are from the UK so decided to spend 4 days in Old San Juan in Puerto Rico prior to cruising. In our view, this was an excellent decision - we loved Old San Juan and whilst it is difficult to get into with a car, it is great to walk around plus we walked to the cruise terminal with our cases so avoided taxi costs. We stayed at Hotel La Terrazzo (currently no.1 on Tripadvisor) and we were not disappointed. It has a great roof top pool and bar and is very central to see the city. Continue reading... Great itinerary
