Rare Jamman54 Posted May 23, 2022 Author #253 Share Posted May 23, 2022 The ship is docked by 6:30am. Here are some views of the port area from our balcony….. Now that we have arrived, here are today’s “Fun Times”…... We are in no hurry to get off the ship today, as we have no excursion planned. We will get off later and just take a walk around Old San Juan. Around 8:15am we went up to the Marketplace for breakfast. Here are our breakfast plates…..

lilchuckie Posted May 24, 2022 #254 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Given that you have both done so many cruises over years, what is your favorite ports? San Juan always seems high up there with diamond people I've talked to. I like it myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our favorite cruise was the one we took on the Splendor to Hawaii. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a week in Maui and a 10 day Honolulu to Vancouver booked for April 2020 but of course that never happened. 😭 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green4me Posted May 24, 2022 #262 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Excellent review and photos Jamman54 🙂 Question, did you come across the curry worst ? We missed it on our January trip and want to find them when we get back on in July. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jamman54 Posted May 24, 2022 Author #267 Share Posted May 24, 2022 At this point I decide that I am going to head down the hill and head to Senor Frogs. Patti is going to walk around Old San Juan exploring, browsing the shops, and taking pictures….. Patti catches me resting under a shady tree….. I then went the rest of the way to Senor Frogs, and Patti continued her tour of Old San Juan….. To be continued…… 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jamman54 Posted May 25, 2022 Author #272 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Around 1:15pm Patti met me at Senor Frog’s…… We had a couple of drinks, and then made our way back to the ship. Had to pose with Senor Frog himself first…… We’re ready to head up the gangway….. Even though the protocols stated otherwise, masks were optional almost the whole time we were off the ship. There were a few stores, like Walgreen's, CVS. and others, that did require a mask to enter. Not one time were we asked to show our vaccination cards.

Rare Jamman54 Posted May 25, 2022 Author #273 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Once back on board we made our way to Guy’s Burger Joint for some lunch. Patti’s ankle was a little puffy from all that walking, so she went back to the cabin to lie out on the balcony and put her feet up. I went over to the Tiki Bar and stayed there until the 4pm sail away. I went back to the cabin and joined Patti on the balcony for our sail away. This picture shows that we could look straight down to the water from our balcony….. Here are some views as we sailed away from San Juan…..
