We left BTV at 7 am yesterday, and arrived in San Juan at 2PM yesterday. The contrast between 13 degrees and 87 degrees was quite a shock. We had no delays or problems. But if you are slow on your feet, pre order one of those Beep Beep transporters from the airline when you make connections.
If you haven't cruised from San Juan recently, it's important to know that there are 2 cruiseports there. The old one is directly in Old San Juan, and you can just walk into town until the ship sails at 11:00PM. The new one is at the Convention center across the bay from Old San Juan, and requires a cab ride to get to Old San Juan. Know in advance which port you are using to make your plans work better. I'll do research when I get back, and share the results with you. I've already asked Royal Caribbean about getting a water taxi actross the bay, but I see no activity yet. The taxi drivers must have a strong presence in town.
We were wowed by the "Guitar/Folklorico" show on board last night. Juan Carlos was the guitarist, and his fully endowed dancers kept the men's eyes rivetted as they performed.
Juan is from Barcellona, lives in San Juan, once performed with Ed Sullivan, and is a great guitarist. Unfortunately, he had no CD's to purchase. I'll have to google him. He stays in San Juan, and plays on many ships. Don't miss him if he is on yours!
Today, we're having a "Quiet day at sea". After a room service breakfast, golf lessons, Bridge lessons, The Martini mixology class, and the champagne art auction, I definitely won't be bored.
Check in tomorrow to see what we're doing.
