Good Morning. Today we are in Tortola, BVI. Last time I did an island tour. This time I’m going to a different island to see the Baths at Virgin Gorda.
I don’t have time for a real breakfast so I grabbed two double espressos, water, and a pastry from the…

I booked Virgin Gorda and The Baths through Norwegian. They had 9am and 11am tour options.
I picked 9am because I read the baths can get crowded with more than one ship in port.

I just boarded Norwegian Epic in San Juan. It was very similar to embarking in Alaska or just at a port of call. We boarded on deck 0 and we’re heading upstairs.
Epic is the first cruise ship I’ve been on with a guest elevator.
The Cavern club is less like…

Here comes my shuttle.
My suitcase is well below the 50lb limit.
This is about the longest I’ve seen my TSA line here. It turns out…

Booking
I booked this in 2024. A cruise out of San Juan was attractive to me because it allows me to get to some ports that I can’t get to on a 7-day cruise out of Florida. At the time it was going to be all new ports with the…

Good morning. I got to sleep at 11:15 last night and my alarm was set for 4am.
I can finally breathe. I had some trouble finding my subway station. It wasn’t one that comes up out of the sidewalk. It was one that is on the side of a building….
