Some great money saving tips too. I have no problem taking a bus or walking. Thanks for the info! No problem bringing soda on the ship in san juan? My wife and I are energy drink addicts and I want to make sure I can bring a few cans on the cruise.

This is exactly what I was looking for too. I want to do Maho, and find another beach to relax at...then hit some casinos. Curious to see the responses.

Love the review and writing style! Can't wait to hear more.

Thanks for the info, I like the idea of the seaside massage!

What is the best casino for craps/blackjack? Anyone know if blackjack still pays 3/2 at most places? What kind of odds on the dice table?

Is there an area with multiple casinos close to each other that is easily walkable?

Looking at doing 2 tours and looking for opinions. My wife and are both in our early 30s. Looking at doing the Spoon foods Sip n Savor tour on Thursday and Kalichi adventure tour on Friday. What are your opinions on these?

Especially Kalichi, it is all day and a little pricey, I just want to make sure we are making the right decision.

It was something on RCCL website, when I called amex they never even saw it processed. I tried again later and it went through with no issue.

All booked.

Yes used the same card to pay for the cruise. Going to call amex after I get off work and see what is going on.

Has anyone had an issue using their Amex trying to pre book dining? I have tried using both mine and my wife's card and it is not going through on the Royal Caribbean website.

I am going to call amex, but wasn't sure if this was a known issue.

At least they make it easy to plan lol. Also makes sense why when I made the reservation the guy on the phone was very vague.

We will be cruising on Adventure this September and were wondering how far ahead we are able to book Giovanis?

Awesome, that is what I was looking for...what makes K... so extreme? I am big into mud runs, climbing, and adventure stuff, but am claustrophobic (spelling) so would like to avoid tight caves.

So would it be safe to say....offers are typically within a month or so of sailing? I am happy with a balcony cabin, but if offered an upgrade to a JS or some other type of suite for the right price I would definitely entertain the offer.

I am currently booked on Adventure of the Seas out of San Juan 9/26/15. I have read that closer to the cruise if there are open rooms they will offer discounted upgrades....my question is..

1. When are these upgrades typically offered?

2. How are you contacted? Email/Phone/Mail

Has anyone had experience with Kalichi, Acampa, Rocaliza, or any others? What was your experience? I am looking to book a tour for this fall and trying to decide which one to go with.

What did you like, what didn't you like?

Does Royal still have the all you can stuff laundry bag for 25-30? If so what day do they typically offer this or is it anytime?

Good call...Aventure

That's what I was hoping. I have a spa suite booked and cannot wait! Thanks for confirming.

How far out will I be able to book specialty dining? I know we want to book 2-3 nights.

Trying to decide between hotels, right now I currently have both booked. I have a spa suite at La Concha and do not remember what room at the Ritz....Don't know how much ocean swimming we will be doing, but looking to see which hotel has nice pool, drink service, I like a laid back pool, not looking for a club scene.

SOLD! I will be canceling the Ritz and sticking with the La Concha Spa Suite. I did some looking on google maps too...looks to be closer to the pier and old San Juan, so that is also a plus for us.

We've never been to San Juan and will have 2 full days to explore.

Thank goodness! Not a coffee drinker and need my caffeine fix.

I have a specific energy drink I enjoy, I have never had an issue throwing a few 6 packs in my luggage and bringing on the ship, however I have never sailed out of PR, would this be an issue?

Awesome! How is the pool and beach there? I booked the Spa suite at La Concha and a room at the Ritz for Sept 2015 2 nights pre cruise..I'm leaning towards the spa suite, room looks awesome, and looks like a good location for stuff to do.

which has nicer beach/pool?
