Anyhow. Excited to read about your cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've often displayed a knack for creative writing, and I personally think that is one of your best ever. Thanks for the chuckle!! 😊 Like the numerous others, I will really look forward to your take on this new ship, which I won't experience until early November. Enjoy your time onboard to the very fullest!! I was surprised to read that it'll be your first time visiting Puerto Rico. I hope you'll enjoy as much as I do . . . and you might even decide it's a destination for a return trip (non-cruise) to get a deeper experience. I hope it's OK to offer a few personal tips since you travel/explore very (Very!!) similar to the way I do: If you pre-plot a route for navigating Old San Juan, make sure you do the zig-zag in an East/West fashion. All of the North/South streets involve a hill, and that gets tiring fast. Two food/beverage locations to strongly consider (which are currently meeting or exceeding safety and cleanliness protocols) would be ChocoBar Cortes [Calle San Francisco] and Birra & Empanadas [Calle de la Cruz]. The latter has an interior that looks like a scary dump with not one thing matching another, but that is their schtick. For first visit I was prepared to walk out, yet it is one on my Go-To spots for any visit. If my current travel plan continues to stay on the rails, I will be able to watch your ship arrive at the OSJ dock, which is directly across the street from my hotel. If possible, I'll attempt to post pics to your thread. Enjoy the cruise . . . Bon Voyage . . . Be Well !!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the chuckle!! 😊 Well I ripped it off from Seinfeld who ripped it off from the movie JFK. That’s what the Keith Hernandez comment was about. In the Seinfeld version it was Keith Hernandez who spit on Kramer and Newman. I have been waiting a long time to post that though. I came up with it about 15 months ago.

candigirl41 Posted August 22, 2021 #62 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Love your reviews. I won't be able to follow after August 28th, as I will be boarding the Panorama. I will definitely come back after my cruise to see how it all went. Have a great trip. Candi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted August 22, 2021 #66 Share Posted August 22, 2021 So... no checking out Rikki Tiki Tavern at the end of Cocoa Beach Pier? It's awesome, just for it's location and they might have live music! Looking forward to another great review😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted August 23, 2021 Author #70 Share Posted August 23, 2021 For anyone who isn’t in on that I have this issue where I order takeout and when I go to pick it up it’s under Craig or Gary. Sometimes they have it under names that don’t even sound like Greg. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are expecting their hurricanes to taste like the ones from Pat O'Briens you will be very disappointed.

watermelonqueen99 Posted August 23, 2021 #74 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Yay, a SG review! I'm on board (no pun intended) with any review that includes a T-Pain video. For some reason, my request in the piano bar for one of my favorite songs of his, "I'm N Luv," usually goes unfulfilled. 🤷♂️ Have a great cruise, the MG looks stunning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
