Rare QuattroRomeo Posted December 17, 2023 Author #252 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Indoor area with washrooms, and the hot trays when lunch is ready. A nice chicken dinner- 2 pieces of chicken, rice and beans with a tasty sauce, cole slaw and macaroni salad. The sign shows shuttle departure times. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We enjoyed Bajari Beach and it wasn't crowded at all. The waves were pretty strong today and it rained a bit on and off, but still beautiful and relaxing! One of our favourite spots. Was this a ship tour of something you did on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare QuattroRomeo Posted December 18, 2023 Author #263 Share Posted December 18, 2023 The shop has a small selection of lightly used designer goods for sale called What Goes Around Comes Around. So if you want an Hermes handbag for $4,415 you know where to find it...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare QuattroRomeo Posted December 18, 2023 Author #271 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Another very rocky night and morning! I feel for the first-time cruisers on board. We get into San Juan at 1 pm are still travelling quite quickly. This leg of the cruise, being a 7 day one, has a generally younger demographic and several families- of course it is close to Christmas as well. Apparently this crowd prefers the Lido to the more traditional sit-down dining rooms, so a restaurant manager told me they have had to shift more waiters to the Lido. I'll be doing a tour this afternoon which includes the El Yunque; haven't done that area before so looking forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare QuattroRomeo Posted December 18, 2023 Author #273 Share Posted December 18, 2023 The ceviche was delicious, as was the shrimp roll, although quite similar with lots of shrimp. Ceviche also had crab. Banana cream pie was tasty- better without the crust.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare QuattroRomeo Posted December 19, 2023 Author #274 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) The Puerto Rico Favourites tour yesterday was a little irritating. The description needs some beefing up and I will definitely send a review when the time comes. The first part drives to a fort and the guide takes you inside, up some steps (elevator is broken), he gave a little talk inside, then a longish walk through a very dark tunnel, then inside that part he says you have 40 minutes and to meet back at the bus! I had thought it would be a panoramic drive-by. I can walk around just fine but wasn't planning on a fort walk. If you have walking problems, don't do this tour. There were 2 gift shops in the fort. One on the main level, one upstairs. Main is bigger. I saw one suit of 16C armour. If you have been to the Malta armouries, this was a little underwhelming! The bus was a 25 seater- 10 rows of 2 and 5 seats in a row across the back. None of the seats were comfortable and were quite narrow. There was a lot of jockeying for position with the seats after each stop. The windows were large but tinted. Couldn't take pictures on the drive up the misty rainforest hill, too dark. And the drive back in the evening was dark because of the tint. Any time we hit a bump we hit incredibly hard. Not much suspension. The rainforest was beautiful and the best part of it I find is the fresh air and the smell of the forest. We only had 2 stops, 20 minutes each, one had a washroom. No shops or food. Apparently the tour that does only the rainforest has 4 stops and one includes a shop with snacks. None of this is in the descriptions. On the drive out of town, the guide pointed out different buildings and once on the highway it was interesting to see the outskirts of the city and a couple of the next cities. Photos during the drive didn't turn out that well of course. Edited December 19, 2023 by QuattroRomeo 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
