ghezzy Posted August 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hello, this is going to be my first ''big'' post on cc so please bear with me :D Also I usually don't make these kind of things (reviews or long posts) so I'm just gonna tell the story hahaha This trip started on June 5 that my best friend called me and said: dude let's take one last vacation before I move out (he's in the Air Force ROTC) so I had some money saved up from work and said what the heck let's do it! (it had been 2 years since my last cruise) Since it was gonna be the final vacation before he goes we went ahead and got a Grand Suite :cool: and it was worth every penny! Also got reservations to get picked up at the airport For a whole week we lived like Gatsby lol To start on that morning of July 7th we had a 4:20am flight out of San Juan for Orlando but it got delayed and we finally left around 5:30am but even with that we touched down around 8 if I remember correctly. nice view When we touched down we picked up our bags in less than 15 minutes and our driver was already waiting for us we made reservation for an Escalade beautiful morning I want to add more pictures in 1 post but it won't let me... anyways coming soon post #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghezzy Posted August 19, 2013 Author #24 Share Posted August 19, 2013 So the funny story goes that they ask for 3 guys for a beer drinking contest of course I ran up there lol and 2 guys from Ohio. It was us vs the mexicans, on the first round the guy from Ohio lost, I won my round and the third one was a tie. To break the tie they added a shot of tequila with a beer the other guys told me: you're from Puerto Rico go right ahead buddy hahaha and out comes this mexican samurai from the kitchen (I thought it was gonna be with the same person) and I did the best that I could but we lost by a second so we then had to jump in the pool, but got even more shots for free so it was a really good time and people cheering and taking pictures after that just the usual, went to the theater, casino and crypt all night :D On the last day get managed to get a bridge tour I could see my room more controls, by this time (3:00pm) we were near the keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
