Today we docked in San Juan, Puerto Rico about 10am. Earlier the ship
was rocking a bit so we decided to go to the restaurant for breakfast
instead of the buffet. I think we might stick to that from now on. The
breakfast was better, the service was fast, and we got to sit at a table
with some other people to talk to.
We have been doing without internet access so far this week, but since
Puerto Rico is a U.S. Territory, we we're able to connect phones and
iPads via Verizon & AT&T. That let us get a little caught up with email.
We have been to San Juan several times, so we've already done most of
the tours. The only one worth doing again is the Bacardi tour, so that's
what we did. The bus driver gave us a nice running commentary on the
way there and back, sprinkling in a little history and a little humor.
Once there we received tickets for 2 drinks each and a tour of the
museum. They have redone it since we were here last, adding a short
movie about the history and several interactive kiosks. Of course, the
tour ended at the gift shop where we got to see all the new flavors and
specialty rums.
Tonight we finally went to dinner in the main restaurant. There was a
little confusion in the beginning because we had a reservation but we're
not assigned to a table. I think that's because we didn't eat there
the first 3 nights. They finally got it sorted out and sat us at a
table for 2 between 2 other tables, close enough so we could have a
conversation with either side. It was nice and the food was good, but
no one ever asked us if we wanted something to drink with dinner. It
seems in order to get anything besides water they expect you to have
purchased a drink package, either wine or soda. I just like 1 glass of
wine with dinner and Ray usually wants an ice tea or a coke, so a
package isn't worth it for us. I don't care for their system on this.
