Will the official language on a ship leaving from San Juan be English or Spanish?

Question

We just booked the RCCL Adventure of the Seas cruise out of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Will the cruise director speak in English, Spanish or both? Has anyone taken this ship to the Southern Caribbean? What did you think?

Answer 1

On all ships they usually speak English, but just to be sure your safe bring a handy little travcel translation guide. Have fun on your cruise!

Answer 2

Probaly both, he wouldn't be a very good director if he couldn't....

Answer 3

English is the official language on RCCL.

Anywhere you go.

Answer 4

The cruise director will speak English, and most likely several other languages.  RCCL is an american line, so you will find that the staff speak English as well. Most of the staff are not from te US, so they will speak several languages.That is a wonderful ship, I would take that same cruise over and over again! That ship has 2 Southern Carribean routes, both are amazing.

Answer 5

English.  By and large the majority of people on a cruise are Americans, no matter where I’ve been.  I have yet to be on a cruise that doesn’t speak English first, then Spanish, French, Chinese, Etc.  A good cruise director goes over the passenger manifest and makes sure everyone aboard understands the announcements.

Yes, I've been on the cruise it was fantastic.

Answer 6

Your cruise director will most likely be either American or Canadian.  He will speak English.  There will be cruise staff who are fluent in Spanish and a couple of other languages.  However, the predominant language is English.
