When a patient of mine has an urgent problem and the day is booked up I stay longer. It actually disgusts me that they would recommend you just drop your cat off. I agree. This is a terrible, unique situation. I’d like to think my vet would make time for me. I thought about suggesting they call around to try to get in at any vet…but that’s not my call. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe go to the forts to see if any new parts have opened since I last visited. I'm a huge fort fan. I really enjoy return visits to ports as I don't feel like I'm on a mission to accomplish things. This entire cruise has no missions to accomplish other than relax. My first visit to a new port can be grueling. Have to get in as much as possible as you don't ever know if you will get a second chance. I loved visiting both forts in San Juan. I want to go back when I have more time and do the guided tours. They are just so beautiful. Also Old San Juan is so much fun to walk around. I take it you have been to Barrachina's for their Pina Colada? What did you do for lunch? I am hooked on Plantains. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted April 25, 2022 #55378 Share Posted April 25, 2022 @reallyitsmema I posted in the IHealth thread about our testing experience. Mine went fine. Bill's didn't go as well. There were proctor problems. They all went on dinner break or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine3601 Posted April 25, 2022 #55379 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I was disappointed that our Jan sailing was not able to make the San Juan stop. I have never been there, hopefully will get there on a future cruise, maybe next winter for another 11 or 12 nighter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used the same architect and construction crew! 😇 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped at Barrachina for a drink. Part of San Cristobal was closed off because Holliwood is filming a movie there. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still easier than finding a place that does testing such as CVS or Walgreens and chance they cancel on you. Glad all went well with your test results😍 Have an Awesome Cruise!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted April 25, 2022 #55388 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Just got to dinner. There are loads of people on this sailing eating dinner in the Windjammer. Just noticed that both Apex and Odyssey are in port. I'll try to get a picture after dinner. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They close at 5:30. The Dr. was in emergency surgery and told the receptionist to have us come right in. It normally takes us 20 minutes to get there. I made it in 15 minutes. After deciding it was best to let him go they told us to take our time saying goodbye. It was probably 6:30 before we left and they would have stayed as long as it took. As long as my vet is there we will be clients. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the rather stressful test taking has been completed, we can finish packing and look forward to it. Thanks! There is the other unfortunate problem that a lot of my cruise clothes seem to have shrunk in the last two years? 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted April 26, 2022 #55398 Share Posted April 26, 2022 @Ocean Boy I know how to find your practice. Open yellow pages and look for the DR that has a pizza image on their ad.😉 When we sail together in person one day I might find out your name, but you will always be OB/Ocean Boy to me. 👍 Glad you had a good day in SJ. You sunrise photos were great. I know someone who is onboard with you this week. From their photos the weather looked amazing today. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
