Where is everyone from? I am from Upstate New York,

My friend and I will be onboard! We are both long time travelers with Carnival. I have been on Carnival Spendor. It was also originally a Costa ship, Carnival's Italian line. Lovely Italian decor ship so I can't wait to see Venezia! Any events planned on board for this group?

My cousin was on this cruise. Unfortunately he became ill in Africa and was taken off the ship. Shortly after that he died in threat country. Unbelieveable Holland did not help him.

Go to "Raices". I am a local, and I love the food. I can tell you a lot of other places for a good mofongo, but in the San Juan Area, I think Raices is a good bet.

I have gone to both of these restaurants and enjoyed them. What do you think of them?

Cafetaria Mallorcas for breakfast--- 300 Calle San Francisco, San Juan, known for Mallorca breakfast sandwich and bakery items

Lunch Old San Juan

Cafe Manolin forLunch-- 251 San Justo, San Juan, Puerto Rico -- Known for Mofongo

What an adventure - I can’t even begin to describe how much fun I had and how many good friends I made. The Breeze is gorgeous and I would cruise her again in a heartbeat - but now I can hardly imagine going on a 7 day cruise - and to the Caribbean......I WANT MORE!! (yes I am a selfish froufie). But I do count my blessings and several times during the cruise I looked out over the wide expanse of ocean realizing just how very lucky I was to be able to have such an amazing opportunity as this cruise - that I had the resources and support and time to be able to do this - I am, as always, very thankful!

 

I am now officially a ‘transatlantic junkie’ and would definitely recommend this to others.....there is such a feeling of comfort and ‘belonging’ when you know you will be onboard and well taken care of for 15 days - I was spoiled and loved it.

 

And now for a new feature - I decided to add some Froufie Cruise Critic Roll Call Awards at the end of the review to acknowledge some of my special friends so here goes:

 

 

Froufie Hero Awards go to

Doug - my Alhambra Saviour and all around good ‘bodyguard’ friend and Paul - who wouldn’t leave my side on the ardous climb out of the Bandama Crater.

 

Best Companion and Drink Sharer -

Special thanks to Sue for hanging out with me and sharing lots of food, fun and fables :)

 

Most Surprising roll caller awards go to the ‘quiet’ ones - those who didn’t post much but that I did spend lots of enjoyable time with:

Carolyn - my favorite piano bar companion (and martini connoisseur)

and Anne - who has great style (love the wine in the giant red solo cup) and with whom I shared some super fun times both on the bus to and from the Alhambra (getting ‘lost’ together) and on the ship as well.

 

Most Distant New Friend -

This award goes to my friend Ruth from Israel - who despite the stressful circumstances, did a great job of sharing her company with others when she could!

 

Best Accent

Yes I am a sucker for British accents and I love listening to them so this award goes to fellow Canadian Maryann - whenever she spoke it was beautiful to listen to! (and on top of that she is a pretty fun person too and a great addition to our teatime gang).

Honorable Mention goes to Sue from RAWCHESTER, New Yawk - loved hearing her say that all the time!

 

As well it was a pleasure sharing times with you!! Oh by the way,the stalker thanked me too(lol). What can I say about my accent but AY!
