The weather remains perfect, temps in the high 70's with a nice breeze and sunny skies. We elect to stay on the ship today and enjoy the lack of crowds and lines.
As an extra bonus we enjoy several rehersals of the tree lighting ceremony which will be held later in the week. Princess has a new 30 foot tree with programmable lighting that is synchronized to the show. The cruise director for the next cruise will be hosting it as our current cruise director will be leaving the ship when we do.
After all the work to retrieve her dive book, the operator cancelled the dive trip due to rough seas at the dive site. Note that rough seas for a 21 foot dive boat are calm seas for a cruise ship.
Some of the group enjoy a walking tour of the fort. Others enjoy lunch at the oldest restaurant in San Juan, others enjoy the beverages of the local breweries. I enjoy the peace and quiet of the ship
The Silver Ray is docked near by. One of the smaller luxury cruise ships launched in 2024, she carries just over 700 passengers, 10 % of the number of passengers on the largest cruise ships. Not surprising, the fare per person per day is much much higher.
As we leave port the view of the fort is stunning. Seas are slight and the skies clear. Our next port is Grand Turk.
