Day 7 – March 3, 2024

 The days so far have been very nice, but today it is realty nice, pure sun and hot – in the lower 80’s when we arrived at the port for San Juan.

As there are a lot of people on this ship, we had our butler escort us through the crowds and onto the pier – such service.

We got off the ship just after it had docked and walked into the old town to have a Mallorca sandwich from the original restaurant, Cafeteria Mallorca.

That’s a bread with ham and cheese, folded over and covered with powered sugar!!  It is hard to describe the taste but it is delicious.  See the picture for a better idea of the sandwich.

After that we walked down the streets of Old Town and back to the ship to have lunch and lay out on the pool deck.

The deck attendant had saved our lounge for us and it was perfect to be in some great sun.

The sun was so directly  overhead and hot we could only stay out for a couple of hours.

After we came back to our cabin in the late afternoon, we cleaned up and went down so that Ed could play in the 2nd qualifying session of the slot tournament. 

After walking around a little bit, it was time to see the show which was a fun production of dancing to favorite hits of the past.  It was very good.

As always, we closed out the night in the casino and had an enjoyable time.

Tomorrow we will be in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and we do not plan to get off the ship.

Night after leaving San Juan.
