Perfect. We’re staying just a short walk from the pier right in OSJ. We’re going down Wednesday and staying for a few days before. We chose Wednesday because we could get nonstop flights from Cleveland down and fortunately can get nonstops to Cleveland back after the cruise. Can’t wait for it to get here. Have to get through basketball season first. First game Friday.

From what I’ve seen it’s in OSJ. Hoping that’s accurate as we plan on walking the three blocks to the pier.

This would drive me crazy.

Looks like a deal.

Here for it.

Can’t wait to follow along on another trip. Stay healthy. If you’re sick, stay out of the office. I just went and had a flu shot and the new Covid booster because we just started basketball season and I’m going to be in a school for the next three months. We aren’t sailing anywhere until February after my HS basketball season ends. I’ll be living vicariously through everyone until then.

This is my favorite after dinner place to be.

Nothing wrong with a good patisserie week episode with Paul, Pru, Noel and Matt.

Thoroughly enjoying your adventures. Glad you’re back on an old familiar friend. Look forward to the journey.

Made it in on page 6. I have to keep up more than I have been. Off to a great start! Here for the rest of your trip!

I just sat down and see lines are dropping. Bon voyage!

Made it here for embarkation day. Let's get our party on! Looks like a perfect day in Miami.

This is a great way to spend an evening.

I chose 2:00PM for our embarkation time. We are non rockstars. This is our third time sailing from San Juan. Yes you can drop off luggage earlier and enjoy the city. We’ve done it both times we sailed previously. We head down and grab some last minute items from the store, have breakfast and then work our way to the ship. It’s the most chill embarkation you will have.

Just sat down after cutting the grass and there you go.

I just binged all 25 pages during the day today. Here for the balance. Can’t wait for the TA ~PB

We are trying VV in February out of San Juan. Looking forward to a change of pace. I’m not as far along as some in loyalty, but we are close to Platinum with Carnival. We booked this for the itinerary more than anything but we’re excited to try something different. We have been on HAL, Royal as well as my better half being on Disney and Princess. ~PB

Southwest is double what I'm seeing right now from other carriers. I'm so reluctant but Frontier has a non stop home which we will most likely hop on.

I was able to see my booking now. My TA was able to get us on the same deck just on the port side vs the starboard side. All good. Now to find airfare that isn’t $1,000 from Cleveland to San Juan.

I still can’t see our 2/24/24 sailing as of yet. Were you able to pick an embarkation time? I never saw that as an option. I’ll keep checking the app to see if the VL cruise shows up.

I could just eat fried rice and be happy.

Coach Prime making a difference right away. Wow.

I hope Virgin does keep a presence in San Juan. We just booked a Feb '24 cruise on the Brilliant. We love sailing from there in the winter.

We take both metal and silicone straws. The metal wide straws are awesome for frozen drinks.

Our last cruise cruise, before we took a little pause from cruising, was on the Magic. The reason we decided to take a break was that we didn't have the best time on that sailing. We were booked for this trip right when they raised capacity to full. They were so understaffed and it was incredibly noticeable. The food wasn't good, the service was terrible. We decided after that to take a sabbatical. We are willing to give it another shot as we have a cruise booked on her in September 2024. I think I may move off of that cruise and move to something later in the year.
