SweetPea Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 OMG, on our first Royal cruise, we were tracked down as well. But it was because on the first night in the MDR, our waiter was visibly ill. As in sweating with thick snot coming out of his nose, and he wiped his nose on his jacket sleeve. Um, no. Obviously we didn't return for the next several days and our head waiter eventually tracked us down and assigned a new waiter for the remainder.

That sorta fell out of my routine with the new CL location. When I had to go down to 4 to get coffee I would sometimes hit CP on the way back up (and possibly get an egg sandwich if Park Cafe was open already). The whole ship is quiet pre-7am but that’s always been one of my favorite early morning peaceful spots. Keep the early AM coffee/donut posts coming! Ampurp85, Ogilthorpe, Sweety and 5 others 8 Quote

ScottD Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 I love San Juan, definitely want to get back there for some more exploring... we took TWO walks to the Cat park down behind the fort because my Kid was obsessed. But most of our day was taken up with a UTV tour that started at the big mall about 20 minutes outside of Old San Juan, so we need to get back an explore the town itself a little more!

xaza Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 As funny as it sounds, it is nice getting to the smokers area before it smells like an ashtray too. I only smoke 2-3 cigarettes a day but can't stand the smell. I agree early morning and catching the sunrise is my favorite time on the ship too. OCSC Mike, JohnK6404 and InmyElement 3 Quote

Sometimes, it’s nice to get up when the ship is really quiet, grab a coffee, and leisurely walk around. I let my wife sleep in. I also love to take photos during this time… the lighting (especially outdoors) is usually great and the lack of crowds makes for better ship pics! I can usually enter all venues and restaurants and even if I see a crew member, they’re friendly and do not care that I’m there taking pics. It’s also nice knowing you have the whole day ahead of you! Ogilthorpe, InmyElement, xaza and 4 others 7 Quote

ScottD Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 4 hours ago, GatorCruiser said: I’m not sure what would possess one to be up before 7am on a cruise. Insomnia ? Help it make sense! Until very recently, I worked at 3am so even on vacation, my body was still waking up by 5 at the latest. NOW I go in at 5, so hoping my body gives me the same two hour extension on vacation and lets me sleep in until 7. But I can tell you that I do enjoy walking around the ship when no one else is there, just like the other guys said- Plus I grab my "first breakfast" by myself, then at like 10 when the family wakes up, I'm ready to eat again!

GatorCruiser Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 Well I’m sure I’d love the serenity of walking around the ship at sunrise too. It’s just physically impossible to be up this early when the blackout curtains are drawn and that room is dark and cool as a cave. It’s just too perfect of sleeping conditions. God bless you all though. InmyElement, OCSC Mike, JohnK6404 and 2 others 2 3 Quote
