On point #1 - I agree. There is no news here as far as I'm concerned.

 

On point #2 - I disagree that people forget they can adjust or remove gratuities. In fact I believe the increase is in large part because so many people do just that. Something I totally disagree with unless service was absolutely horrendous.

Hello all,

Leaving from OSJ on the Carnival Liberty 12/27/15, but flying in 3 days early. I'd like to spend the 26 on the beach all day. Suggestions for beaches that have beach bars, bathrooms, and restaurants? We are staying at the Sheraton in San Juan but don't mind paying the extra $$ for a nice beach. Thanks!

The beach on the back of the Isla Verde Hotels are the best .there you have..bar and restaurants at walking distance.

San Juan really does not have the best beaches of the Island.

We have Verizon which doesn't have data coverage in PR without international access (voice and text work).

 

Sounds like I'll need to try and make some other plans.

Puerto Rico its not International call its a local call from any USA state as is the USVI

Six of one, half a dozen of the other really. The Miramar is closer to Old San Juan, and the Isla Verde hotel is closer to the rain forest. The two hotels are at most 20 minutes apart.

The Miraramar its close to the Old San Juan, you can take a Bus from Miramar to Old San Juan, $.75

Lajas PR.

So I went to the barber today, told him this was my "1 week away from our cruise" haircut. He asked where we were going, I told him our itinerary and our embarkation and debarkation port was San Juan.

 

He got very excited then told me that when he was young, one of his neighbor friends would tell stories about his father (the neighbors father) in the military and him spending time in San Juan doing research on an alien space port underwater. He said he kinda just blew it off as things other kids say, but then a few years ago he saw a documentary about an underwater alien space port outside of San Juan. And he said the documentary was exactly like his friend had described.

 

I did some research on my own once I got home and found tons of internet sites devoted to this. Apparently there is some way aliens travel around underwater in their space craft and this is the area they come in to and out of the water. Like there is an underground highway for aliens...

 

Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts about this? I mean he was so excited about it when I told him we were going to San Juan, he seemed so believable, plus all the stuff I found corroborating his story.

I think its Lajas

The new owner's have opted to put in shops...guess they think they can make more $$'s than off the casino....that's a surprise.

the laws here had change and the casinos are lNot. having the money as before, there are a lots of places non casinos.. now with Slot machines everywere!

Just read a trip advisor review that was posted 3 days ago that said the casino is now closed. I checked the hotel website and there's no mention or any photos of the casino. Does anyone have anymore information? We are booked for 2 nights at the end of October. It won't make a huge difference but we were looking forward to a little pre-cruise gambling.

Yes its close, No other Casino on the area, the Nerest Hotel and Casino its the Sheraton Convention Center..or La Concha

they Closed the Hilton Condado Plaza Casino too.

Cove 100%

very nice just had mine!! very good price!

Just made a roll call for 13 dec 2015 Liberty

Im salling 13dec 2015 Liberty No Roll call Yet but Maybe we can start one I have a family group on this sail ( from San Juan)

Hi....sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm confused. We're sailing on the Liberty out of San Juan 12/13/15. I can't find any roll calls for this sailing. What I am finding is the Liberty sailing out of Barbados (which is our day #4) on 12/16/15. I'm so confused... I thought there was embarking only once out of San Juan. Are there passengers embarking on our sailing in Barbados? This is our first time sailing on Carnival (sailed on others 11 times), and it just seems weird. Maybe I'm reading the information wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!

you can embark in Barbados ussually People that does not have a USA visa .

Thats!! Mi Viejo San Juan!

I Live so grateful to God to live in this beautiful Island!! And this is Only The Old San Juan!

pay outrageous flights to SJU to board an old and beat up Fantasy class ship to beautiful ports?

 

Thanks but no thanks. I rather pay more and get more from RCL, X or even NCL. :rolleyes:

is a lack of respect from Carnival

Yikes. I thought that the Fascination going to San Juan was a temporary thing. That really sucks. How can an old Fantasy class ship compete with Royal who has a Voyager class and a Radiance class ship in San Juan, not to forget that NCL is also bringing a Jewel class ship next year?

you see!! I told you!! this its crazy!! we were hopping for a better ship..

Where did you get this info? I hadn't heard that. Any idea when the switch is supposed to take place?

I'm a TA...here trust me! its Very very real...starting on 24 April 2016

Im having a Black Monday! the worst news for us here in San Juan...

opinions please Carnival its taking the Liberty out of San Juan and can you believe they sending us the Fascination :mad:

I stayed in a balcony room when I cruised on the Fascination! I have no complaints about her. Is the the newest and biggest ship? No...but we had a great time on her!

We used to have 2 Carnival ships here (Fascination ( my first cruise with Carnival) and Inspiration)

but after having Destiny, Victory, Valor and Liberty

going back to such a small ships its no good for us here having RCCL with 2 ships and Celebrity, its a NO NO NO for Carnival... Bad... Bad!!

I cant understand why Carnival its sending to San Juan the Fascination..for 2016..I cant Understand Carnival logistic about this change..

its not a Tourist area I don't know why they have this are there are no hotels in area its a residential area...No hotels there..

look for old san juan//condado or Isla Verde area!

I'm know I live in San Juan

I was in the midst of planning a San Juan vacation for this Fall. Was thinking of doing a 4-5 day stay then a short cruise. Oops... I was quite shocked when I could find no 3-5 day cruises departing from SJ in Sept or Oct. Did I set my search incorrectly? I was expecting a number of short cruises to St Thomas, etc but all I would find were 7 cruises, and truthfully not many of them. Are there smaller cruise lines that might fit my needs if the majors do not?

I was planning the trip as a final hurrah of my 2 year Southwest companion pass which expires at the end of 2015. I am sure SJ would be great but SJ and a mini cruise... absolute heaven. Bummed in cold, snowy Upstate NY!:)

no all cruises from here are 7 nights, only on special sailings 6 nights
