Was just coming to find this out as well. I read online that it does but was hoping for first hand knowledge. We will be sailing from San Juan in February so can report back if no one else updates. I know the NCL Epic is currently sailing from San Juan. Maybe ask there as well?

Great idea to ask people returning on Epic. I posted on the NCL board and got several quick and very helpful responses about Global Entry and about embarkation waits as well. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link that post in here, but you should be able to find it there easily. 

I'm taking a cruise that disembarks in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Does this sea port have Global Entry kiosks? If so, do I need to bring my Global Entry card, or just use my passport at the kiosk? Thanks, and hope you had a great cruise!

So did you ever find or make a list?

I like to get breakfast somewhere and bring it back to the room to enjoy on my balcony. Which of the non-pay breakfast restaurants can accommodate this?

For those of you who have done an Antarctica cruise, how did you get your parka home? I don't even know how much room to leave in my suitcase for it, but I'm guessing a lot. It seems too bulky/heavy to wear on the plane.

I except a lot of glaring sun, white-on-white views in Antarctica. Anyone have tips or a good site to read about how to shoot best under those conditions?

The kayak and snorkel eco adventure sounds really fun, but I don't want to get banged around too much on the boat ride, which they describe as high-speed thrills and, "Thrill to the tropical breeze, sea spray and views as you zip around the Marine Park. " Basically, a little bit of bumping is no big deal, but if it's more like riding a wooden roller coaster, I'll have a bad headache. Has anyone here taken this excursion or one similar that can weigh in on it?

After doing several photo reviews here on Cruise Critic, I have started a blog to record my trip reports all in one place. Although we were in Bonaire back in December of 2013, I have just finished transferring the photos to the blog. Here is the link:

Hopefully some of you will enjoy the pictures and seeing how we spent our day in Bonaire. (I have also covered lots of other ports from other cruises as well. Use the archive list to navigate through the blog.)

 

Having snorkeled in many places in the Caribbean, I can definitely say the reefs around Bonaire were some of the most beautiful!

Wow, those underwater pictures are awesome. What make and model of camera did you use?

Have you considered staying on the ship? It has a pool, loungers, shade, and a bar.

I also wanted to thank you for the updates. I too have older family onboard, and it's great to read live reports of what's really happening on the ship.
