24 Days to Embarkation
Anchors away! Well, our blog is starting today. Our cruise will be departing from San Juan, PR on Feb 28, just 24 days from now. Once again we will be sailing with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. This will be our fifth cruise with RCCL. We hope to update this blog while underway, but we’ll see. We’ve never tried that before. We will be visiting St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Antiqua, St. Lucia, and Barbados. If you’ve tried this itinerary yourself and have suggestions for us. Please let us know.
