Oooh, that's a nice itinerary. I would love to do that one. 

Yes, we will both have it! Forgot that of course I would need to present his seapass card to receive 2 drinks. Thanks so much.

It On Your Bedroom TV

On Brilliance, not only on your cabin TV, but they also had this on the wall as you were leaving the Schooner Bar heading into the Centrum.

On the Allure we were able to get one bottle/per card/per bar visit and I believe we were able to get more than one as we were exiting the ships for port call.    There was no limit so we would stockpile bottles for the room.  There are plenty of recycle containers on the pool deck.

We had no problem getting water whenever we wanted. Always stopped at a bar on the way back from wherever to the cabin to keep the fridge stocked. A lot of the bartenders even asked during drink orders if we wanted bottles of water.

Love this one! I already had them on my extensive packing list for my sailing in August. 
I also love to travel to beaches with beach gear so you're set even without a cabana, chair or towel. I bring an old sheet for sitting on, pop-up beach tent for shade, my own quick-dry towel, oversize mesh bag and lots of supplies for beach cocktails - cooler bag, 2 reusable plastic bottles, insulated camelpak for water. I get thirsty on vacation!! 

I was just on Freedom last week and I can tell you that the ship's water (out of the faucet) was terrible.  Normally ships' water is very drinkable but on Freedom last week and on Liberty the last time we were on that ship, the water was skunky.  I definitely recommend getting a beverage package if you are a big water drinker.

Yes, getting bottles of water won't be an issue. Size wise it is the half liter/16.9 oz bottles of generic brand filtered water.
Limits, none. Asking kindly I've been able to get more than one bottle at a time. Only major challenge can be later at night once the bars start to shutdown.

You will have NO issues finding water, I have found that certain Coke Freestyle machines will dispense water (yes even if you don't have a drink package)  if you look at the screen some will have a small blue water button on the main screen, so you will be able to tell immediately when you walk up to it.  Second I also carry a YETI (or similar) cup or drink bottle and use it heavily. You can also get water at Cafe Promenade, they usually have a water station there, to be honest unless you are on a very small ship such as Majesty of the Seas there will be places that you can get water in far more spots that you think.  It seriously is not an issue whatsoever!  We do not get the drink package and are about to go on our 10th and have not had an issue finding water yet! 

Binoculars are great for a lazy afternoon on the balcony, fun to check out other ships or coast lines.

I usually stay at the Hilton Caribe when in San Juan! We are staying there again this August on disembarkation day and I can't wait to see how it's all been renovated since I was last there, they JUST overhauled all the rooms and public spaces (opens May 17th). Gotta go for the oceanfront! 😍

The victory ship was a self guided tour. I believe they do guided ones on the weekend. $10 adults $5 veterans. Very cool and it took us a little over an hour to see everything at a very relaxed pace. Tomorrow we board Brilliance!

Welcome to the boards!
Couple things you can do....
Put down on your reservation notes for the cruise booking that it's both your birthdays. Your travel agent can do this, or if you booked direct with RC then you have to call to tell them. In terms of MDR, let the head waiter know ASAP.  They usually introduce themselves on first day, but you can always ask your MDR waiter to speak with him/her.

They do have dispensers available all over the ships.  But I personally keep several mini hand sanitizers (thank you bath and body works for your post xmas sale, I got so many nicely scented minis) and toss one in my purse, one in my pocket, one in hub's pocket, one in every room of my stateroom (by the bed, by the couch, on the balcony, in the bathroom).
That way regardless of where I am, and what I touch, I'm not at a lack of hand sanitizer.

I had many Kracken Coladas on my last cruise.

@Wilmsta - I am holding you accountable for this.
All this talk of Guinness made me thirsty so I ran out to the store.
New can I've never seen before.

Hooray, I'm so glad to hear this! Thanks!
