Encore Christmas sailing

[Peachypooh]

I just checked the itinerary for the Encore over it's Christmas sailing.

Christmas Eve they are in San Juan starting at 5:30 pm and the

next day is Christmas day in St. Thomas. Any thoughts? I am thinking

that there will be at least some restaurants and shops closed.

I'm thinking that is a cruise I would not want to take. It'll be a great ship but with a bad itinerary along with bad dates.  Your opinion may vary ......

As far as the itinerary, I think it depends on what type of things you do in the ports.   If you're a shopper, you're going to be way out of luck.   But if you get to the ports and find a beach or if you do a beach excursion or snorkel trip you will be fine.

 

I think you can count on most of the shops being closed the afternoon of Xmas Eve and Xmas Day, whether it's San Juan or St. Thomas.   They might be open the morning of Xmas Eve but by afternoon they will be closing up.   Xmas Day they will be closed.
