We're looking forward to the festival as much as the cruise! We're coming in
on the 17th for the Norwegian Sky on the 18th.

Last time down we stayed at the Wyndham Old San Juan. This time it's booked
solid. I guess it's because of the festival. That and cruisers. And I guess
it's far enough away so you won't hear the music and noise all night.

This time we're staying at the Gallery Inn. The back of the property backs
right up onto Calle San Sebastian, the epicenter of the festivities. It's
sort of a quirky artist commune as much as a hotel. It's gonna be a kick! (I
hope).

We don't get in until you are getting on the ship. I'm sorry we won't likely
be able to meet up. What hotel did you get and how did you find it?

We'll be arriving in San Juan the same time this festival is going on in
January. Our overnight stay in Old San Juan is the night that this
festival
will be at it's zenith.

Has anyone ever been around there while this festival is going on? Is it
as
wild and crazy as Mardi Gras? What is it like? Not complaining, mind
you.
Just trying to prepare for another party!

We were there last year and it was wonderful. Not crazy as Mardi Gras
but lots of street music, dancing & booths for food & souveniers.
When will you be there? We are going to be there 1/16 for a 1/17
cruise on Serenade OTS.
