I have been making a list of things I want to see and do, so one of these days I'll have to bite the bullet and show a lot of patience.

Still no hotels for Lisbon. I think we may opt to fly right home, however, after the Barcelona fiasco, we like the idea of a "buffer" day at the end of the trip!

I downloaded the brochure with shore excursions for the March trip and I can email it to you. It may be easier than trying to get it from the web site.
They don't have the excursions posted for the Apr 6 cruise yet.

Check your email!

I'm going to call today to see if they"fixed" our cruise credit total to reflect the 2 points that we should have from our Alaska cruisetour. Why was I not surprised that they only gave us one credit instead of 2......and here I am hoping to get some kind of nice letter from them congr atulating us on reaching +

Thanks Sandy, just finished printing it out. Sure looks as if there are some great trips. It's going to be a busy cruise. It's getting to be exciting, just thinking about what to do.

Hi Hanna, I see that you are sailing Freedom in November. We will be sailing on FOS in December, 12/30, on the same itinerary. Have you figured out what to do in San Juan? We get in at 3:00 pm, probably won't clear the ship until 3:30 and it will start getting dark not too much later. Fortunately FOS docks downtown and not at the new cruise terminal. We love San Juan, been there over half a dozen times and done three pre cruise stays there, but the 3:00 arrival is really late.

We've been there also and have the same docking time as you do. Not sure what we will do yet. Not the greatest of ports anyway. IMHO.

hi Patti, I'm sorry it took me so long to answer this one. I go there occasionally as I have some friends that post there as well as here. Plus, I'm nosy and like to see what's going on. Sometimes like recently, I go there to see if they have the same person posting somewhat derog stuff there as here. Believe it or not we do get a troll once in a while that we have to deal with. I've got nothing against CC just agree with you about them needing a few changes. Some of their folks could use a bit of an attitude adjustment

If it's going to be dark when you guys are there, you should see if they have an excursion to that illuminated beach. I'd love to see that Go to Island Adventures Biobay Tours, Vieques Island - Puerto Rico Look at this...............

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it.
