Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I was visiting family who lived in the "path of totality" during the 2017 eclipse and remember that too -- very dark, no birds & definitely crickets! Sudden switch back to birds and no crickets once the moon moved off.
  2. Thank you! That is the La Princessa walk so I'm glad to hear if we continue on we can enter El Morro from there. We've been there several times but not via the walkway. Umbrella Street - if it's still there was - was down around the Old Gate. We'll be checking that out on our way back.
  3. We may change it up a bit but this takes us along the la Princessa walkway, through the original Old Gate, up to El Morro, down to the Bascilica, toward umbrella street (if it's still there) and to a few shops we want to hit. I understand from someone in another thread you can in fact enter El Morrow directly from the waterfront walkway if you were to continue vs. going through the Old Gate. (hope my reply isn't too late, didn't see you had asked this question).
  4. Thank you for posting! We'll be there in a few weeks and I've plotted out a similar walk. It wasn't clear if there was access to el Morro from the waterfront walk "Princessa" .... sounds like you were able to do that? We were thinking of going through the Old Gate and walk to the fort that way, enjoying the cobblestone streets there and back again to the ship. Did you notice if Umbrella Street is still there?
  5. Looks like a Painkiller.... Counting down the days (34!) until I can get mine!
  6. On your same cruise and I paid $289 as well. Sounds like we got in before a price increase. Nice!
  7. I will say there was a strange bug going around in January that year that both my husband and I got as well as several friends. It was kind of flu like, yet different. But it wasn't Covid. We got Covid day 1 of the shut-down. That original strain was not mild... I remember us both breathing like fish out of water -- lips puckered up into an "O"... very strange. I remember that letter... We had 2 cruises cancelled -- one in April 2020 (finally took in July 2022) and the 2nd from February 2021 which we finally took in October 2022. Now looking forward to yet another in just 37 days! 😄
  8. How long will you be there? El Yunque National Rain forest is less than an hour away. Dorado (northern coast) is also not far - perhaps the hotels offer a day pass to enjoy the beach? DH and I spent many years vacationing on the west coast (Rincon) but unless you're there for at least an overnight it would be too far. One of our favorite things to do was rent a car and drive through the mountain towns... stopping for food along the way. Roads can be narrow and steep - not for the faint-of-heart. Watch for goats & horses!
  9. Very easy at MCT in NY. (Side note: we've never had dogs sniff our trunk - maybe that's done on random days). The first time we parked there I literally said "so small" -- it was not what I was expecting. We parked and rolled/carried our luggage to the elevator (about 200 feet away) before seeing the porter and giving to him. The next time we parked there we knew better and dropped our luggage with a porter up there in the lot before driving into a spot -- again, maybe 200 feet away... unless you're lucky and get a closer spot. Will be doing the same for our cruise in April.
  10. I remember this being a one-time fee per person, not per day. Am I remembering wrong?
  11. I'm so happy to hear this! My husband dives and the rest of us snorkel -- at least a little. Really looking forward to it! It is. My husband and I actually did this same excursion 8 years ago but the weather was such they wouldn't stop at JVD and took us to an alternate beach (and far inferior in my view). Looking forward to making it this time.
  12. Hendo's Hideaway maybe? That's where we're planning to spend our day. Looks lovely and is a little quieter than Soggy Dollar I've heard. We're bringing our snorkel gear. Thank you!
  13. Where's the amazing breakfast on Jost? Heading there in April...we have the early morning "Escape to Jost Van Dyke" excursion.
