Finally Retired

Perfect - I was actually looking at some of the convertible pants!  Thanks!

I agree - most things can be worn twice, but be careful about packing only one bag.  if it gets lost (airline) and you don't get it back before ship leaves, you're up the creek.  Take two and pack some things for each of you in each bag.  If one gets lost, you both still have something to wear:)  And, it will leave more room for souvenirs:).
 
Also, I start putting stuff in a "cruise" pile in a separate room as soon as I have picked shore excursions (they may require unusual attire, e.g., hiking boots). That way I can see if I need to order anything special to take (i.e. water resistant pants for our Alaska outings!) and have them in plenty of time instead of discovering the week before that I'm missing something.  I start packing the suitcases the week before, leaving.  Laying stuff out to see what can be mixed/matched helps pack less too:)

I can't speak to a lot of the post but I can say that a segway in old St. Juan might not be a good idea.  If you can't ride on the sidewalk, much of the roadway is brick or cobblestone and that could be very dangerous on  segway.  We were there several years ago on a motorcycle cruise.  It had rained on/off that day and motorcycles on those narrow, wet brick/cobblestone roads was nerve wracking to say the least.  I too have foot/ankle issues and use an ankle brace (mueller).  Seems to help a great deal.

Thanks so much.  I hadn't thought about checking the port arrival time, still fairly new to cruising and it never really mattered before because I don't usually book anything before 9:)  I'm taking along a few ziplocks just in case I get an urge for a late night cookie or snack so I'll be sure to have one available in case i need it for some morning goodies!

YUMMMMMM cookies for later!  Just a thought, but think about bringing a few small ziplocks with you so if you do bring cookies back to your room you can keep them in the ziplocks.  They'll stay fresher and avoid tempting any critters (ants) from invading:)  Not that I've ever seen a bug on any of my cruises, but why tempt fate.
