BORN A BOWLER Posted October 20, 2017 #252 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Love your posts We don't cruise until March but it is always nice reading everything. I see someone here likes Ben and Jerry's. It is made right here in my home town. I go by the plant everyday. Each employee gets 3 pints to take home daily.

laskoske Posted October 20, 2017 #253 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Although you have 5K+ posts, you must be new to the RCI forum. Bob is everywhere, and always with great info. So much so that they made him a host a few months ago! He had exceeded 100K posts before then. I thought about counting the number of times that his post says simply "Welcome to Cruise Critic", but I lost count. ;p I have been on since 2007 but never encountered any posts from him, I must go on the boring cruise boards! LOL. Our cruise boards, and our cruises, are always pretty lively, so it is strange that we have never encountered each other. But as of now, we have! Maybe we will even sail together sometime! I hope so! Ernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundview77 Posted October 20, 2017 #254 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Does anyone know if there are any restrictions on which venues you can use the drink card at? (specifically the MDR and theater and in general anywhere else on the ship) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachlovergirl Posted October 20, 2017 #256 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thank you for posting. Lots of great information here. For Antigua, how much was the Day Pass at Jolly Beach Resort? Was the food and drinks good? Did they have free WiFi? Dee Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtopia Posted October 21, 2017 #259 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I just booked Ocean Terrace Inn for my sailing - so looking forward to it! Thanks for your report and all the pictures.

SweetPea6464 Posted October 21, 2017 #260 Share Posted October 21, 2017 You can use the drink card at any bar or restaurant. Someone please tell me about the drink card. I sail in one week. Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted October 21, 2017 #261 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Someone please tell me about the drink card. I sail in one week. Thanks! If it shows up, it's usually in the last few days of the cruise. 10 drinks for around $79 plus 18%. Shareable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readytolose Posted October 21, 2017 #262 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Can’t wait to hear about your last few days onboard and your day at the Marriott. We are booked at the Marriott in a month and saw online the other day that their generator failed and were now dark. Hopefully you will be able to confirm that they are back up and running! Pictures of the pool area would be great, too! Thanks so much for your great review. The week went way too fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare happychippy Posted October 21, 2017 Author #263 Share Posted October 21, 2017 You can get the drink card on the first day, just go to any bar and request it. It's $80 for 10 drinks plus the 18% gratuity. By day three it was discounted to $75 but I never saw it less than that. Another great reason to do the San Juan Marriott Day Pass post cruise. The airport will not allow you to check in any earlier than 4 hours before your flight. Ship docks at 7am, so we could either sit outside the airport check in counter until 11:30am or enjoy a relaxing day at the Marriott by the pool. There is like no one else here.

Lobby was busy with relief workers, but the Cafe and gift shop was open and televisions in lobby were on. Pool was open and slide is working. There is also another Cafe out here by the pool that is open and a few customers having breakfast. CVS next door is open as well.

Rare happychippy Posted October 21, 2017 Author #265 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I apologize for the lacking review the last couple of days, I actually got a horrible cold, most likely from keeping my stateroom like an icebox and everywhere else was in the 80's. It started off with waking up on the second day with a sore throat and then by the third night it turned into exhausted with stuffiness. I bought some NyQuil on the ship fearful that they would quarantine me to my room, but all was good. Ordered room service of chicken soup and hot tea to and kept to my room for the evening. The NyQuil definitely helped with relief if the stuffy and sore throat and I changed the temperature in my room so it wasn't so cold. Disembarking was very quick and easy as I did self assist. I was off and in a taxi to the Marriott by 7:10am Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme2care Posted October 21, 2017 #267 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Following too, we are onboard Dec 9 Hi, I'm going on a cruise on Nov 11 and also staying in San Juan the night before the cruise. I am curious as to the conditions in SJ and we are also staying at the San Juan Marriott Miramar. Is that the hotel you are staying at? There are 2 Marriotts in SJ. I spoke to someone at the hotel yesterday and they are still on generators and lock their doors at 6pm for safety. This is the first time I am using this site so I hope I am doing this correctly. Thanks for any info you can give me. mommamia: We will also be at the San Juan Marriott Miramar, but in Dec. Would be great if you could provide an update on conditions while you are there or when you return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exercisemama Posted October 21, 2017 #270 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Also wondering about the day at the Marriott, as we don't leave San Juan until 6:00pm. Did the price includes lunch and if so how was it? Were there different choices? Was it easy to get a taxi from the Marriott to the airport? Thanks!

Sanz Posted October 21, 2017 #271 Share Posted October 21, 2017 happychippy, I have enjoyed reading your review. Thank you for writing it. We are considering the Adventure next year when she comes to NJ and we will be visiting some of the same ports that you visited when we are on the Anthem this coming January. I had a horrific cold/virus/sinus infection on land over the past couple of weeks that drained me. Sorry to hear that this happened to you on your cruise. Hope that you are feeling better soon.
