I just returned from a Carnival Cruise that departed from San Juan. I love to travel which connects perfectly with my love of scrapbooking. We visited St. Thomas (shopping), Dominica (white water river tubing), Barbados (Shipwrech Snorkel & Pirate Party Cruise), Antigua (Beach), St. Lucia (Ziplining in the rain forest) & St. Kitts (island tour). Barbados had the most disappointing port (a shipping yard) and St. Kitts was my favourite island. It was warm & sunny everywhere.
I would not travel Carnival again simply because you could not enjoy the pools with the large numbers of children. Carnival apparently sells off open rooms cheaply to the people at the embarkment port (in this case Puerto Rico). They can then afford to travel with their entire families - not what I imagined a cruise to be.
