The Spirit Class can as well, just not at high tide. 😎

We never avert our eyes. Quite the opposite! 😁

At 6pm we met up with Pat & Jim and went to Bonsai Sushi for dinner again. Afterwards, we went to Celebration Central for tonight’s show. We knew that The Most Magnificent Circus had been cancelled again, so they replaced it with a Latin Music Revue. The music and singing were very good….. At the end they added some aerialists which made no sense, but they were enjoyable to watch…… After the show we met up with some of the gang at Latitudes….. After a few more drinks we decided to call it a night. Here is today’s Cheers tally: Patti (5) & Jeff (15). Yep, I maxed out and I “may” have helped Patti out a bit. That made us (+8) for the day, so after four days we are back to even! Patti’s strategy of keeping me on the ship worked like a charm! Coming up next: It’s a beachy kind of day in St. Thomas!

Patti passes Celebration Central and catches the band in rehearsal….. This is the Tropicale Bar in Celebration Central….. Patti is back in the cabin just before 5pm. She heads out on the balcony and takes some shots of the Grandeur OTS….. The Norwegian Epic sails from San Juan at 5pm….. To be continued…..

Now that we have met Mr. Megan, can you throw in a picture once in a while so that we can see that he's okay?

Cool story! Thanks for sharing!

After lunch Patti wanted to get some pictures in the Empress Casino while it was empty. Do you see any of your favorite machines? To be continued…..

Patti is getting hungry for a little lunch, so she goes to check out the offerings back here in The Marketplace. This is Shawarma….. Sea Dogs….. Small Salad Bar….. Gelato….. Patti’s lunch….. To be continued…..

I agree! Patti said that her cheeseburger was pretty good as well.

There are still some decorations left over from Christmas….. Here is the entrance to the Ferry Terminal….. A ship has snuck in between the Celebration and Epic….. It’s the Grandeur of the Seas….. Patti re-boards the Celebration and is back in the cabin a little after 2pm….. Patti meets us at the Tides Bar and orders herself a Mocha Chocolate Getaway….. I’ve been drinking Cruisers all day….. To be continued…..

Meanwhile, back on the Celebration I’m working on my Cheers Package at the Red Frog Tiki Bar. I had a Guy’s Burger to help with my drink consumption. I was joined a short time later by Pat & Jim who had returned to the ship after a short walk around Old San Juan. After a couple more there, we made our way back to the Tides Bar to have some drinks with Suresh and I Made. Back on shore, Patti continues with her stroll around Old San Juan….. To be continued…..

It’s hard to get a picture of this with no people in front of it! Here are the Epic and Celebration docked in San Juan….. What’s a visit to Old San Juan without a stop at Walgreen’s! Patti is strolling through the streets of Old San Juan… Patti is looking up at the Castillo San Cristobal but is not going to hike up there this time….. To be continued…….

We have arrived in San Juan! We are not in a rush to leave the ship. When we go ashore in San Juan, I’ll usually walk with her for a little while, and then find a Husband Daycare. Patti suggests that I stay on the ship and utilize Cheers, instead of spending money for drinks onshore. What a smart wife I have! I kiss her goodbye and head up to the Red Frog Tiki Bar! Patti is making her way off the ship. She passes this big line at Java Blue, and then steps off the ship at 11:20am….. As soon as she leaves the terminal she runs into Heather & Peter….. Here are a couple of views of the Nieuw Amsterdam which is docked right across from the Celebration….. The Norwegian Encore is docked across the harbor. I don’t think this was a planned stop for her, but a deviation, which is why she is docked there….. Patti begins her tour of Old San Juan….. To be continued…..

You should sail on that ship Greg. I think you would like it. Different experience.

Lucky You!! Enjoy your stay and your cruise! We'll be following along!

Here’s another view of the Norwegian Epic as we approach the Terminal….. The Norwegian Encore is docked across the way….. Looking up the hill to the Castillo San Cristobal….. The Coast Guard is looking out for us….. Here are some San Juan Harbor views…. We are pulling in across from the Norwegian Epic….. To be continued……

We continue sailing into San Juan….. The Norwegian Epic is already docked in San Juan….. We sail past the US Coast Guard Station….. The San Juan Ferry Terminal is on the right….. Over there is Senor Frog’s. That could be my Husband Daycare later on….. To be continued……

How does that compare to Thirsty Frog Red or Killian's?

A little after 9am Patti notices that we are about to sail into San Juan. I order a bloody Mary to go, and we head back to our cabin to watch us sail in from our balcony. We love watching us sail past the Castillo San Felipe del Morro (El Morro), and the old walled city….. We’re looking back where we came from…… Off in the distance we can see HAL’s Nieuw Amsterdam following us into San Juan….. To be continued……
