Now I KNOW you are stressed about school!! Thats not McD's :D

 

 

LOL Very stressed. Someone pointed that out to me and I was like :eek:. Last week was a very stressful school week. I'm a straight A student. I flubbed up my first week and got 9 points taken off between my 4 papers. I was super stressed and I'm very hard on myself if I bring a grade below a B. However, I worked super hard last week for several days and pulled off 100% on all 4 papers and got my grade back up to an A.

 

Hopefully I won't make that mistake again, but I'm not making any promises. :D :p

Oh wow, That is different (the colors). I really like colorful things (especially when cruising), so I kinda like the red. It definitely yells "CRUISE HERE!!!!"

 

It sure does! I guess it was just a shock to see it painted red. :D

 

Yea, so much to see and do there that I think I might need a week long vacation there as well. But it would be so hard for me to go and NOT get on a ship. :eek::p

 

I'd be tempted to make it a two week vacation, first week in PR and a second week on a cruise. :p

 

So, I'm still left wondering. Are we supposed to get a porter to get our bags and us just walk down the sidewalk and check in? Or can we pull our own luggage to the building and check it in? I'm still confused. Especially when all he did was walk beside us.

 

Yes, you can pull your own luggage into the building and we saw others doing that, but we just dumped it off with the porters...easier. Both we recently cruised out of San Juan, we'd gotten a cab from the hotel and were there between 11AM and noon. If you're looking at the building that has changed colors from the street, the cabs dropped us off over to the left and there were porters there both times. They also had staplers to staple the Carnival luggage tags on for those who need it...last time I was one of them.

Our taxi driver pulled right up in there at the turnaround where the porters were. They had plenty of porters, but they were just standing there and we had no direction. Normally at other ports the porters are running up to the cabs to help grab the luggage from there immediately. These guys wasn't doing much at the time. :p

Hollywood Boulevard

This was located right outside the entrance to the casino and the bar and along the boulevard. They had a live band (with a woman singer) that played there every night. While she was good, it was TOO LOUD! Like half the time you couldn't hear anything in the casino if you were along that wall. I would find myself turning up the volume on the slot machines (because I like to hear all the sounds of me winning hehe). Then another thing was that the cruise consultant was also located here directly across from there basically. WHY WOULD THEY PUT HER THERE??? She would be there in the evenings and we went several times to try to inquire about booking and it was so loud, even with shouting, that we couldn't hear our own voices, let alone hers. We ended up walking away frustrated and they just lost a sale.

These are the steps that lead directly up to the pool deck. Right outside the casino and in the boulevard.

All at $10 Shop

 

This is labeled "The Jewelry Shop" on deck plans that I have seen. I'm really not sure the name of it and it was in a very odd place. It was no where near the other shops (just like Cherry on Top) and along the boulevard past the casino.

It's the "Everything's $10" place.

DECK 11

 

 

Camp Carnival

 

(I took a lot of pictures here because this is Sakari's age group, but I must have been walking and snapping because they didn't turn out the greatest).
