jorapp Posted October 4, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I've read it to be described as looking like a paper airplane from the side, but from this end-on angle, it looks like a medical exam table for a giantess...:eek:;):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uksimonusa Posted October 4, 2010 #10 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Strange that RCCL ships dock here with no problem, and because a Carnival ship, on a once only visit, could not dock, there are tearing it down.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1200S Posted October 4, 2010 #13 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I was there on Liberty docked on the left side and Radiance on the right. Didn't bother either of those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading about how Carnival Dream was unable to dock there while on her Maiden voyage to San Juan. . . Here are a few pics I took when I sailed the Liberty of the Seas in Jan 2008. . .

Cruising89143 Posted October 4, 2010 #15 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I wonder......could this be a possible future set-up for docking Oasis/Allure That would be a nice option in place of Nassau. I thought about the same thing as all of RCI's other ships have no issues with docking there. I think that they would have to add a dolphin to make it work for Oasis/Allure. I thought that it looked cool. I remember when the Carnivore ship could not dock. No one from Carnivore thought about checking it out first. Go figure.

cruz4evr Posted October 4, 2010 #18 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have meant to comment on your beautiful pictures before Radio, as I have seen them on other threads. You are a phenomenal photographer and each time I see one of your amazing photos it brings back memories of my dear father's photographs. He was also a very talented photographer with an excellent eye for detail, just like you. Thank you for sharing these with us and the others you have posted. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely to replace Nassau on current itineraries as SJ is a lot farther away. It could be part of a new itinerary overall though. I think it's a tight squeeze for most ships and this will prevent any future accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be part of a new itinerary overall though. I think it's a tight squeeze for most ships and this will prevent any future accident. Further away?? Don't think so. Many RCI ships have sailed seven night cruises to San Juan, St. Thomas and St. Maarten out of south Florida. Oasis and Allure could easily do this by dropping Nassau and picking up San Juan. Would be no different than the itinerary that the Freedom sailed when she was cruising out of Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio, love your pictures, I edited out a few to save MB and physical space. I don't get it, 1 ship can't dock and they destroy one of the nicest looking docks I have seen. Sure it was a bit of a strange art but your photo's show how pretty it really was. I say let the Carnival Dream dock at the Pan American Pier and bus them around San Juan (LOL).

Ocean Boy Posted October 4, 2010 #22 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Was thinking the same. I think i have read some time ago that there were no San Juan in the future in RCI itineraries. I hope that is not true. I love San Juan both as a departure port and as a port of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted October 4, 2010 #23 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I hope that is not true. I love San Juan both as a departure port and as a port of call. I think that it has to do with the number of ships that have been pulled and moved to Europe. When RCI moved Freedom to Pt. Canaveral, they dropped San Juan and added Coco Cay to the eastern itinerary. I guess the only ships going there now are the ones out of San Juan for the southern. Celebrity is still calling there.

Really, last time I checked, San Juan is a lot farther south than Nassau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
