WOW – what a night it was for New Years Eve!!
Of course we slept in and finally made it to the upper deck
and out in a beautiful sun at 10:00am.
It was a little breezy, but simply wonderful to relax on the
deck as we headed towards San Juan.
We met our friends on the back of the ship for lunch and sat
around talking and eating for about an hour and talking about our next cruises
together.
Then we went back up on the deck to await the arrival of the
ship in San Juan, which was at 3:30pm.
We are certainly spoiled and blessed as we have been to this
island many times; however, it is still an amazing sight cruising into the
harbor protected by a gigantic fort!!
Barb has been fighting a very hard cough that she sometimes
gets when we cruise and Prednisone usually takes care of it, which she gets
with a prescription. She went to the
ship’s doctor and the cost to see the doctor was going to be $140 and then the
medicine was going to another $100 for the prescription. Instead the nurse suggested going to certain pharmacy
in town and ask for the prescription.
Guess what – the first pharmacy said no, not without a
prescription. The second one said sure
and gave her the prescription for a total cost of $40 with no doctor
visit. Amazing!!!
After the crowds left the ship, we went out and walked
around a little bit and came back to the ship for the 7:00pm show which was a
production number by the cast and it was very interesting, but not to our
liking.
Then we went to eat with everyone and finally to the casino
to close out the evening where Ed won big and Barb watched. Jason started with a $100 bet then – 2 6’s
against a 3, next card a 6, then 2 doubles.
Dealer busted!!
We have left San Juan and are sailing toward Tortola.
Night for now.
