I was on at 11 for 12 ship time rhapsody out of San Juan in June. 12-123was the earliest I could get. Now the ship sails at 8pm, so that really legit could be the first time. It feels late though. Jane

I’m glad to hear all the opinions, as we have been considering a celebrity cruise. I watched an Emma cruises video and she also mentioned the issue of light in the room…you can’t have an early riser be on the balcony (on a reg. Balcony cabin) but instead it causes a light issue if one person wants to be “outside” in the virtual balcony room. That’s a game changer if we are spending money on a balcony room with the expectation my early waking husband won’t wake me up! Jane

Oh this would be very cool…we are sailing on her in July of 2025 and doing an interior to save money for excursions. We will be spending a lot of time on the deck! Jane

I couldn’t take it…I would be so depressed. We decided not to do it in Barcelona and instead took a royal excursion. Our San Juan cruise in June though is one I really wish we had the option to stay. Our flight is at 330, so too early to spend money on a day pass somewhere, and too late to avoid hours at the airport. We discovered city lockers in Paris recently that you could put your luggage into for a few hours. Does anyone know if San Juan has anything like this near the port? Jane

We did xl Ubers over spring break in France and here because 4-5 people and their luggage wasn’t gonna work. It averaged about $20-30 more than the regular. You can see cost on Ubers app by doing a mock viewing. Jane

Yeah... It was only $3 more than the internet, but that adds up. Debating if the chops lunch is worth the extra $21/person. There's really no other key benefit other than the early stages. For me, I love being on quick because I'm so excited to start the cruise... It's more excitement than stress. Jane

Do you know what time the key would be? Jane

Yeah I vaguely remember that. Thanks! Jane

Good to know...I will keep checking back! Jane

All checked in. Used the barcode trick to see our room, even though technically still listed as guarantee. Hoping our royal up gets accepted on something, since deck 2 middle of the ship is about as far from anything as you can get, and I'm worried about being that low and odor issues. Jane

Miami vice, lava flow, and everything with a kraken floater! Jane

Hey everyone, I'm on Rhapsody in June out of San Juan. I started trying to check-in at midnight and got through 4 mins later. Earliest time I could get was 12:00-12:30. It's been forever since I've sailed out of San Juan, and I know we sailaway at 8. Is this truly the earliest time, or should I do the key and would it be earlier? I know... We are talking maybe an hour but I'm just wondering. Jane

Yeah I saw the video and that's what gave me the idea! Will probably watch that video over and over just to enjoy the balcony! Jane

Oh perfect! I’m sooooo excited for that balcony! Jane

Yeah I tried to look up all the room descriptions of room size….some only give you an extra 10 square feet for a lot more cost. Jane

I am beyond excited to have the balcony! Yes, I know about the Pullman because I’m the one who will have to climb into it! Ugh! Wonder if the loungers would be comfy!? Jane

Ok…I’ve never actually had 3 cruises booked at the same time, so I’m in planning paradise (and back to the boards after a year and a half cruise break!). We have booked an amazing cruise for my youngest’s college graduation…cabin 7388 on voyager of the seas going to Italy and Croatia in June 2025. The deck is a corner sunset aft and it is huge! The room, however, is pretty tiny for 3 people and I snore! I’m thinking it might be fun to try and put up a hammock on the deck. Does anyone have a good one they like and are they hard to put up? Jane

Bummer! Someone needs to crack the code in the next day ! . Jane

So no rhyme or reason at all? Ugh! What do I do lol! This was a yolo it’s cold in Illinois book a cheap cruise but I have spacious cabin dreams! Jane

Hi…I never got an email about a royal up bid for my June 2 rhapsody cruise, but I happened to be on the website during the login fiasco time and saw there are a gazillion royal up options…like 7…that I can bid on. My question is if you win more than one, does royal pick which one you take, or can you decide? And can you win more than 1 even, or do they only give you one? I’m trying to decide if I hedge my bets and bid on more than one, or only do one that I really really want. Jane

When I followed the link it says content isn’t available. Jane

We always fly in the day before, so I have only shuttled or taxied from a hotel. However, there was a very easy taxi line to get in at the airport. Have only heard entertainment out of colon, and that’s been the typical couple stage/song/dance shows and a couple headliner/comedian. Cant wait to check in next week! Jane

We walked everywhere and loved the 2 forts, as well as the old cathedral where Ponce de Leon is buried. We were able to get a national park stamp at El Morro, which made me very happy! We got mofungo at a restaurant that Matt recommended a long time ago. I don't remember the name but it was really good! I am so excited that we are actually embarking from San Juan in June, so we are going to spend the night in old Town! Jane

Yeah it is a struggle. We normally could have our daughter watch our schnauzers, but she got a dog that doesn't like other doggies! Jane

I have at least 5 years to go, maybe 10, but it is so fun to see 15-29 day cruises offered!!! Gotta have something to get us through the long Midwest winter!!!!! Jane
