Made up for the miss by getting into San Juan early for a longer day (8am - 8pm). Weather was windy but a great day, took ferry to Bacardi then an old San Juan walking food tour which was fantastic - we were STUFFED by the end of it.

Thanks for this review, will be on this cruise in just a few weeks! Who did you do the food tour with? We are interested in it but have been unable to find anything about it.

Thank you!

According to this article it is Tumi.

The show did not really talk up the name of the luggage as you would expect they would with a sponsor. Tumi might want the bags back.:D

LOL, I thought it was odd too! Thanks for the info, love a Tumi!

Clearly the maker of the luggage they all had when they arrived in London is a show sponsor. It looked pretty good but I've been unable to find out anything about it on the website. Anyone recognize it?

That would be Norwegian Jewel in Bayport this morning. Emerald hopefully will be there tomorrow morning.

Thanks James, didn't look too closely, glad to know there wasn't another problem with the Emerald!

Odd and Ends Notes:

Saw the Captain twice out and about on the ship. One time he was walking around by Vines and the International Cafe asking passengers who they were doing' date='[/quote']

 

Well that seems very personal. :D:D:D

 

Surprised to see the Emerald at Bayport this morning, not sure what that's about. Looking forward to boarding in just a couple of weeks!

Great to know, thanks for posting!

Very helpful - thanks!

Welcome home!

All I can say is...yum!!

I don't trust the porters not to drop it in the ocean or let it sit out in the rain of the weather is bad.

In spite of some comments on another thread, I can't imagine too much luggage goes into the ocean. :)

Great review, thanks for posting! Sailing on her in just a few weeks!

Just finished Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts, excellent and 944 pages long so plenty to get through during flights and cruise!

It bothered us so much we are leaving tomorrow morning to get on the Emerald Princess - whenever she leaves :-)

Yay! Enjoy your cruise! :)

Sorry you're missing Belize but at least you're cruising! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

If a cruise line intentionally places a departure port on Antarctica and passengers complain about frigid temperatures at departure, whose fault is it that the passengers are cold, Mother Nature's or the cruise line's?

While I understand the point you are trying to make, if passengers book a cruise out of Antarctica and then complain about it being cold, I'd say that fault would be their own. :)

So glad it's going well, can't wait to read your full review when you get back!

That being said, I'm really excited ..Bahamas here I come!!! woo hoo

Great choice - enjoy your cruise!!

Hence why I'm investigating the cash onboard account. Does anyone know if the Sea Princess has an atm on board?

They are generally in the casinos. I would also investigate the pre-paid OBC, as a previous poster suggested. Enjoy your cruise!

BUT, this year I am cruising solo over NYE; I am sailing on the NCL Epic on Dec 28th (flying to cruise port Dec 27th-2 days after Christmas). There are quite a few solo cruisers on the RC for this cruise and the more the merrier I say!!! Come join us; all are welcome and it will be a great NYE party. :p

Sounds like a blast, enjoy your cruise!

Here's a question for the group - Do you have to board with your cabin mate or can you board individually? Thank you!

She's off!

I will often order the next night's wine at the end of dinner. You want to avoid sitting down and having to comb through the list if at all possible. Most other tables will be doing that and the wine stewards can only move so fast.

Hope you have a great vacation!

We're bringing our own onboard for the post-New Years sailing, but I will take this excellent advice for my Xmas cruise. Great tip!

Announced that they are boarding ahead of schedule!

Enjoy your cruise!!

And - I guess no one manages/schedules port channel traffic.

The Houston Ship Channel is one of the busiest in the country, pretty sure someone is managing the traffic. :)

In unrelated news, the Noordam is in code red for Noro. None of our research scientists has succumbed though. Any headaches or nausea we have felt was completely self-induced.

I know this is an older post, but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
