On Oasis 2 weeks ago. I'd hand the waiter my seapass card and he would write the number down on a pad. I asked him something and he bent down to answer me and I could see his note pad. He had a BUNCH of numbers written on the pad. So, my guess, he goes back into the system at a later time and puts the numbers in. And perhaps, can't read his own writing? Or typos the numbers? Sure there are other explanations as to why accounts get random items added to them.

If all the phones have WiFi calling enabled, no apps are needed.

Yeah, we tried it. But the Iphones wouldn't get the galaxy texts and vice versa.. Maybe it was a setting we missed. Took 2 seconds to add the app and it all worked...

We are a mixed phone family. So that is why I suggested the 2 apps. Samsung messenger is just like the iMessage but only the Samsung phones would receive the texts. And vice versa.

Facebook messenger and or Whats App are the 2 I've used over WiFi. Can also make calls too... Worked very well for us. Leaving the phone in Air Plane mode and only turning on WiFi... No issues...

Lots of good tips. Don't have any too offer, but I'm taking notes..

Good info, thanks for taking the time to do the review. Head out on Oasis in less than two weeks with the same itinerary.

Haha, yep! Just last night I was looking at TA cruise and said, the drink package would cost more than the actual cruise....

Thanks for the review.

DW and I are heading on Oasis the 4th of July week. We'll get off as you get on. This is our 3rd cruise and first on Oasis.

I've been scouring this board looking for tips/tricks from you professional cruisers and managed to pick up a few tidbits of info.

I need to work on finding the cruise deals, so I can go more often.

Good info, thanks. Head out on Oasis in about 3 weeks.

Yes! That's the one .

Thanks for sharing the link.

We found the walking tour maps at this web site to be very helpful.

And there's plenty of other free info about Old San Juan on the internet as well.

 

As others have said, assuming no mobility issues, OSJ is very do-able on your own. The ship docks right at the foot of town. It's a beautiful walk to get to El Morro (the fort that is farthest from the ship). You can walk outside the city walls, then enter the old city through a gate. Along the way, other things to see. You can then walk over to the other fort, etc. Have a fabulous mofongo lunch at any number of places, and a piña colada at Barrachina's where they were invented.

 

Old San Juan is a very compact area. Just be sure to have a hat, sunscreen, and water; it's hot!

Heading to San Juan on a cruise in July. From what I've found it's better to just do a self guided tour of Old San Juan.

I found a self guided tour route that someone put together that gives a good route to hit all the main areas of interest. And added a pdf with info on each. This way I can skip what I'm not interested in and go at my own pace. I'll have to see if I can find it. Pretty sure it was put together by San Juan tourism.

yeah, got the same email. Just going to have to walk around faster. ;p

According to the port website. There will be 2 boats in the port on the 29th of June.

CARNIVAL MAGIC and CELEBRITY EQUINOX

This is my first time to the island and am curious to see a response to this as well.
