Day 14 Cruisin back to San Juan

A great sleep in today! We had planned to meet our dinner gang for an 8 a.m. breakfast but that didn’t happen...... they will understand:-)

We did some planning for our departure the next morning in San Juan. We packed up 90% of our stuff, duly noting the various items that were never worn! We kept our travel & dinner clothes handy for the day and then headed to lunch with the continuos cruiser folks. It was in the dining room and we sat with a couple from Kelowna, BC and another from Cornwall, England. A very nice lunch indeed.

We were off to see the Blackjack Final in the Casino. We only watched but it was fun to see the action unfold. The 3 p.m. show was next on our lists and it was an entertaining rock and roll history lesson by the Royal Caribbean Dancers & Singers.

Our few remaining Cruise Critic folks met at the Sky Bar to hoist a couple of drinks in honor of our two weeks together. The British Invasion forces of Julie, Martin, Dan and Vicki joined Kelly and I to talk about our experiences and look forward to our next cruises.

Last critics standing :-)

 Dinner was again delicious and we enjoyed the great company. We could not have asked for better dinner partners and we all exchanged e-mails in hopes of cruising again someday. Andrew and Dawne have already booked a Panama Canal trip next in March of 2014! Not bad for a semi-retired guy:-) Someone in seat planning should get a Wow mention.

After dinner we headed to the Guest Services Center to make some arrangements for the morning and discuss some account issues. They took care of our internet refund (as  it’s free now), printed our statements for both weeks.. wahoo under budget!!! (It’s a miracle!) and arranged for an earlier departure time. They quickly did all that was asked of them and we left very happy with the service.

We met Dawne and Andrew in the Schooner Bar for 80’s Trivia Night. We did pretty good but missed a few... can’t be doing that with this sharp crowd... hey the eighty’s wasn’t that long ago for these folks!

A quick stop at the Casino and I had a great 15 minute streak with Lauren & Kris’s Birthday numbers coming up. Started with $40 and left with $360.  Kelly was happy for me... and so was I. Finally!!

Back in the room to finish packing as our bags get taken away at 11 p.m.

Off to bed as we have a sad day tomorrow....our cruise ends and we put a cork into a great 18 day trip. We celebrate Kris’s 27th birthday tomorrow as well.
