CruiseGus Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Anyone else hoping to sail out of San Juan in January of 2022, now on Explorer rather that original booking of Freedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 01020 Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Yes! I've got my airfare and hotels booked. Now if RC can just make up their minds on covid protocols we'll be all set. Hopefully by January everything will be smoothed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseGus Posted June 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Welcome @Craig 01020 I am holding off on flights just a while longer, even if i have to pay more, because last year I almost got stuck with a 6K travel voucher that i would have never been able to use up, luckily 2 weeks before departure they shifted a flight departure by 90 minutes and that was enough to kick in the refund clause on that particular ticket. We normally sail from San Juan every year at this time, so I am also hoping to run into some old cruising friends. Also for us this is the first week of a b2b.

Craig 01020 Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hi @CruiseGus I was able to get decent direct flights on JetBlue. I bought cancel-for-any-reason travel insurance so I can get 75% of the airfare back if I had to cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumlee2028 Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Ill be on it. Was disappointed with the change of ship, but this is more of a destination itinerary for me, and the other option that time of year from San juan is Norwegian Epic...which...well...no thanks.

CruiseGus Posted June 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I was also disappointed with the change from Freedom, we had the perfect cabin picked, in fact it was the same cabin we had the last couple of years. This is the first week of a b2b that we usually do every year at this same approx time out of San Juan. During the initial change over we had 2 different cabins of which neither appeared open on the other leg and we seriously thought about taking the refund, only had a week to make that decision. One of the weeks was an aft balcony on deck 9 with a huge balcony and we have never done aft before, so when my TA was able to secure that cabin for both weeks we stuck with it This week is a fantastic itinerary and we are excited also, in fact yesterday contacted my TA and did Air2Sea flights as well as I booked our motel. So as long as we sail we are ready to go. now to start thinking about excursions for the ABC's. Already I think on Aruba we may do Trikes again loved it last time. Open to any suggestions if you have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoJotunn Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 I am booked on EotS for oct 31 2021 leaving from San Juan. I am so worried about cancellations my emotional health really needs this cruise any news on EotS?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Are they going to have 2 Royal Caribbean ships sailing out of PR at the same time ? I am booked on Vision for 10-30-21. BTW, Vision is also "grounded" at the moment, so I have a similar concern ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseGus Posted July 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 @Okgladgal hope you didn't misunderstand my comment and emoji's. What I meant it to mean was that I thought you were REAL excited for the cruise as are we. This has been our Go To time frame for cruises in the middle of winter in the Midwest. Normally we cruise approx these same weeks every year and always out of San Juan for about 5 years until Covid hit. Have meet a few others that seem to cruise this same period from San Juan and hope we might see some of them again. The only break we will take is in 2023, wife being a big Fan of The Texas Tenors we will be on their fan cruise instead. But hoping to get back to San Juan again in Jan/Feb 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
