Peter and Iidiko were amazing in the Welcome Aboard Show. They were also in the Farewell Variety Show. There are YouTube videos of them if you like acrobats.

THANKS for the photos of the food! A few things are hard to figure out based on menu descriptions.... Can you tell what item is in each picture? Thanks so much.

My apologies. I will go back into that post and add the descriptions. My computer died so I'm having some trouble posting the review using my iPhone and Samsung tablet.

Thanks for all the info. I'm booking our my time dining for our April 1 cruise and assume the shows are based around early and late dining so I booked 8:30 every day but the first day 7:30. As we hate to miss any shows.

There is typically only one show on the first night, and it is usually scheduled midway between the first and second traditional dining time.

Day 4 - San Juan

 

We did some shipboard activities in the morning and went ashore in the afternoon for a self-guided walking tour along the city wall, through the city gate, to a church and over to El Morro. We followed this with dinner at Barracina (spelling?) to enjoy local cuisine.

Day 4 - San Juan

 

We had breakfast in Windjammer and the checked prices for a Thanksgiving cruise with Next Cruise but found our travel agent had better rates so we need to call and make our reservation with her. Next, I went Ice skating for the first time in over 6 years. We enjoyed a light lunch in the dining room prior to our self-guided Walking tour of San Juan.

 

 

 

We had a snack/appetizer at Barrachina consisting of an appetizer platter and a couple entrees shared by 5 people.

We went back on the ship to enjoy some big Band music in Star Lounge. We had a light dinner in the Windjammer. Then, we shared the Dessert and Port Flight at Vintages: Moscato from Italy

Sandeman Port from Portugal

Six Grapes Port from Portugal
