Great review thus far.   Forgot a lot of the stuff on board when we were there last year.   I'm digging the Old Forester and Woodford, but the Zero mixer--not so much.  Then I typically like my bourbon and rye with 2 small or one medium rock.

it definitely seems like Jennifer has moved on, likely either on vacation or to Celebration. But there is no shortage of excellent bar staff here, fear not! Melissa at BM and Jakub/Zoltan at Alchemy have been fantastic. I’ve only had a couple at FT but they were great too, and honestly Jocelyn and the rest of the staff at the casino bar have been right up there with the best of ‘em. 

Melissa was the best!  She handled the busyness of Brass Magnolia like a pro.  She remembered everyone's name and mixed the drinks while carrying on full conversations with everybody.  Loved seeing her in your picture.

I know I know…. I love bourbon but I’m a baby with my mixers… what can I say? The heart wants what it wants

yes! She’s fantastic. I wanted to ask her if she would still be on for NYE but it was very busy and I didn’t want to bother. 
 

also, her Hurricanes are DANGEROUS. No light pours allowed!

Calm before the storm. Empty Guy’s and swirls

Aft deck 17. Great seating area. 
 

 

 

hydrating one tiny cup at a time before I start the day in earnest

I haven’t even been ashore yet and this is my “lazy” cruise and my shins are burning like they do in Vegas when I walk 10 miles a day. This ship is BIG. 

[TxTeach79]

Always working, cleaning, sanding, sealing 

 

[TxTeach79]

I love the triple fake OJ so much 

 

[TxTeach79]

Checking in with the Diesel. Not a big line at all for breakfast at Big Chicken

ooooh, that is TOUGH. I love fruity boat drinks on vacation, so the Remedy at Alchemy is always a go to. I’ve never had a bad Bahama Mama on a ship. And I love love love the Rum Jumper at the RF’s. But I gotta say my winner thus far is the Hurricane at Brass Magnolia. Elite. 
 

oh, and the Praline Truffle at BM is insane good, it’s just a full on dessert! I can’t do more than one and have to time it right.

Easiest debark ever. Gangway on 3 FWD is huge 

 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Walking through the big terminal warehouse where round trip San Juan cruises begin and end 

 

 

guessing that’s some of that fancy CNG

Can’t get enough. She’s so photogenic, ain’t she?

City bench 

 

 

I guess this is the Bird/Lime‘S Puerto Rican primo

 

[TxTeach79]

PR Walgreens right at the pier. Line is long but I’m definitely coming back to get a lightning cable and some sunscreen (oops) on the way back 

 

 

big baseball island. We aren’t far from Vega Baja, hometown of Texas Rangers great and hall of Famer Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez 

 

[TxTeach79]

Old San Juan. Christmas decorations starting to pop up 

 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

I’m half Cuban, so close but no….. well, you know.

It’s always Birria time in

My God, it’s one thing to leave your food in the hallway, but a barely eaten bowl of fruit? SHAME. 

 

They always delivered this to my room on B2B, I just give it to the steward to remove. Very nice touch though, lol
