This is a big operation. I don’t know about all the premade stuff.

They’ve been gone awhile. They weren’t there when we were there a few weeks ago. They had some paper cranes (tiny) hanging up there. It was odd. 

How sad. I was hoping to see that someday.

[Saint Greg]

I drank this one and was going to get another pina colada and food but the bartender said you can’t order food at the bar today because he’s alone. I can’t wait until 1pm. He did suggest a restaurant Genesis close to the port.

 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I stopped by the genesis and ordered a local beer.

I couldn’t decide on food here. The other place had a sampler thing I was going to get and I don’t see anything like that here.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Oh I didn’t post the pina colada

Well I might be able to try the food out for you! My hotel before my cruise in April is right by there. I did want to try Barrachina's for dinner though. I'll make a reservation for that!

My what a big nose you have

When I was there in November of 2019 they took them down because of the hurricane Dorian.  I guess they haven't put them back up yet?

Can you bring dominos on board?

Dying. San Juan January 2014. I knew I still had this pic for some reason. 😂

Maybe a crew member?

[Saint Greg]

I guess so. He has subway in the other hand. Guess he doesn’t  like ship food.

Was it a little icy?  How did it compare to John Watling's?

Maybe a crew member. I didn’t see where he went but a lot of crew were coming in that entrance while I was waiting for an elevator

We really enjoyed our visit to St. Kitts. Interesting fact, there is a veterinary school on the island. We live in a very small town just south of Dallas and one of our local vets actually went to school there. What a gorgeous place to go to school. She said it was great!

When we visited St. Kitts we did a private tour that drove us around the entire island. We learned a lot, including the fact that St. Kitts is basically the education hub of the Caribbean. There are a lot of different schools/colleges there.

 

We also saw lots of monkeys.

 

The train ride looks great. We're going to St. Kitts again in a couple of weeks and I looked at the train ride, but decided against it for this trip. It's the last day of the cruise for us (no sea day before we disembark) and we don't want to be too busy that day.

They usually rotate.  We spent 3 days there before our December and they usually had the Puerto Rican flag up as the canopy. They are repairing the bricks because some of the streets had crazy sunken dips in them.  It seemed to me that they were lifting the bricks and repairing the surface underneath.  I am pretty sure the bricks will be laid back when repaired.

Yeah it took a bit of stirring. I definitely like watlings better. It’s not even close for me. It may be the rum. They use their Amber rum at Watlings. I think that’s what gives it the flavor I love. But it may also be all that pre-made pina colada in those machines vs. one made fresh.

And I'm just now catching up!

 

There's our hotel where we will be staying next weekend.

When we had a pina colada at one of our stops during our San Juan tour, it didn't compare to JW's.  Not the same restaurant in SJ as yours but the same iciness and it was from a vat of premade stuff as well. I think JW's rum is tastier as well.👍

I often see crew members returning to the ship with bags and bags of take-out.

[Saint Greg]

This woman at the table behind me has to scream everything. Like she’s talking to someone on the other side of the ship. It’s not even loud over here or anything.
