5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. I just tried looking in the app to see if it says who some of the crew are i.e. Captain, Cruise Director etc. I can't find any of that info in the app.
  2. I 've never cruised another cruise line so I can't compare but I've always felt that RCI's choices for "other" entertainment have been good. There have been a few that did not impress me but that could happen anywhere.
  3. I don't do Facebook so I have no idea what this person said. I do know that I just got off the ship 4 days ago and the CD at that time was Daniel.
  4. I agree the phone could come in handy but I'm on vacation and I don't want to be tied to my phone every minute of every day. As you say, to each their own.
  5. I have not sailed on the "big" ships so I can't answer for them but I have sailed Radiance, Voyager and Freedom class since restart and on all 3, the reserved seating area in the theater has opened to "regular" guests 5 or 10 minutes (I can't remember which) before showtime. There is actually a sign stating this. In my experience, there have always been many seats available. I think the policy is the same for the ice shows but those are always filled so there haven't been any reserved seats available.
  6. I'm not familiar with this area. Do cruise ships travel under this bridge to get to/from the pier? If so, I wonder where ships will be loading and unloading passengers for the foreseeable future.
  7. The list of current CDs shows Danny Turner on Liberty. I don't know if it matters but the CD on Jewel was Daniel. Never once did I hear him called Danny. It could be the same person but it might not be.
  8. I leave my phone on the ship and take my passport with me.
  9. Just got off Jewel. The cruise director was Daniel somebody. I never heard his last name mentioned. I believe he is British.
  10. I never enter a foreign country without my passport.
  11. The 25% off is an arbitrary number. They keep raising and lowering the listed on-board price. Do not pay attention to any advertised sale. When you see a price that you are comfortable paying, buy it. And as you said, monitor the price after that and cancel/rebook if it goes down.
  12. We have cruised out of San Juan 9 times (including last week) and our experience is you don't need to stay near the port. We have stayed in Old San Juan, the Condado area, the Isla Verde area and the port area. We have not found a hotel anywhere that offers a shuttle to/from the airport or cruise port. Cab fares are regulated so you don't need to worry about getting overcharged by a cab driver. It's a 20-minute ride from the airport to the Pan-American pier. It doesn't matter how you divide that up. In our experience, we prefer to stay in the Isla Verde area near the airport. It's 5 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes to the cruise port. We think the beaches are the best in Isla Verde and quite often, we can find the best price for hotels in that area. I recommend the Royal Sonesta. It can be a little pricey depending on when you book but it is a gorgeous resort. We now arrive 2 days early in San Juan so we can spend a couple days at the Royal Sonesta before our cruise.
