4th of July in Caribbean?

Wondering if anything special goes on, on the ship when it is July 4th? We'll be in San Juan on the Navigator of the Seas this 4th (docked from 2-10PM). Appreciate hearing from anyone who has been there, done that, in past years!

I've been on Carnival and RCCL on two of the last three 4th of July's--one was W. Carib and the other E. Carib itinerary. One was a sea day and the other was in Grand Cayman.

Both times the ship celebrated by having Americana food for dinner (BBQ, apple pie, etc.) and by having patriotic backgrounds for pictures.
