Welcome back glad you had a great time. We go on the Truimph Feb 1. Same itinerary. What did you do in San Juan? Also how were the movies on the outside movie screen?

[Name Of The Game]

We loved Chicken!

[MonaCK]

Hey there -

Wondering if there are mini-bars in the room that can double as a fridge.

Glad you had a great time! Looking forward to your review :)

I was on the Triumph in December on the same Itinerary. We also had a great time! There were no Mini-bars that I saw and we were in various categories of rooms.

 

Chicken was a good time! Yeaaaah Chicken!

[Muumuu]

We loved Chicken!

 

 

Did I miss something? What is with the we love chicken? Are you refering to the bird prepared in a delicious dish or is it something I am unaware of?

[Perfect Stranger]

He was a hoot!

We have seen that in one of the more recent sailings the hot tubs were closed......Tell me they are now open.....PLEASE...... I need the hot tub.... If not.....well we will be looking for some long straws......and some guys with good lungs:D

[kiraryker]

Did they offer punch on the lido?? I love their punch but heard it was being discontinued.:(

[daddybuff]

I am curious as to the weather in each port

[david08]

Alright....hopefully this will help before my review. If you have any more, please keep them coming.

 

San Juan was AMAZING!! I fell in love with this port. It was 3 Kings Day in San Juan, so everyone was out and wondering around. The ship ports in Old Downtown San Juan....we walked west through downtown and found a local restaurant to get some local cuisine. was REALLY good! We then traveled more into downtown and found a square with fountains and lights and was gorgeous! Finished the night off at Senor Frogs because we had a few 18-20's with us, definitly a good time. Definitly can not wait to go back someday! Weather was perfect, nice 70's

 

Movies under the stars where awesome....some older, some more appealing to kids. Listed in the capers everyday, if you want to see the movie, GREAT OPTION! they also played the Orange Bowl for everyone and Lido was packed!

 

Chicken was a social host, definitly a funny guy. Make sure to check out the Legends show for his "special" performance....hilarious.

 

No mini bars in our rooms

 

ALL Hot Tubs were OPEN!!!

 

Weather was the best we have had in 6 cruises!!

 

San Juan was a beautiful evening! Nice weather!

 

St. Thomas was hot and humid and LOVED it! Perfect day to do Godfrey's tour and 2 hours at the beach. It did rain for about 3-4min on the beach but no dark clouds, which created a rainbow in the water over the island, I will post that picture.

 

St. Maarten was again a amazing day full of sun. Rained for about 10min while we were walking back to the ship, was warm rain so no problem!!

[daddybuff]

David,

 

Any chance you can post some of the capers. I know this asking alot:o

[NaturalLove]

Thanks for the review. It sounds like you had a blast. I pray that me and my family will still be able to go in May. This economy has not been kind to us.

Nope, not unless you are in a suite, Category 11 or 12

[anjoliza]

We are sailing this same itinerary in April on the Liberty.

 

We are trying to figure out which pier the ship docks at in San Juan - do you think all Carnival ships dock at the same pier? and do you know which pier you docked at?

 

Thanks!

[kmills]

Thanks for the review. We are going on the Triumph 2/1 and hope to have the wonderful weather that you did. Can't wait to get away from this cold weather.

 

What was the name of the resturant in San Juan that you ate at? I would like to try some local food and unsure of where to go. We are planning on trying to get to the fort before it closes and than walk around ole San Juan.

[msp344]

so there is no mini bar. I thought all of the ships had one. Do they still have the refridgerator there.

[david08]

No Mini Bar and no fridge....again, I heard it is only in Cat. 11 and Cat. 12 suites.

 

Daddybuff: Unfortunatly, I did not save the capers, so I can not give them to you, sorry!

 

Anjoliza: Carnival anchors in the pier right off Old San Juan...it is an AMAZING view!! Your are able to walk to Old San Juan and enjoy the scene.

 

KMills: We ate at a restaurant called Mojito's...where, ironically, they have amazing mojito's. :D It was along an area of restaurants about 3 blocks north and 6 blocks west (left) of wear the ship is in port.
