Jeff took a sailing on Royal Caribbean's Rhapsody of the Seas. It was a seven-night Southern Caribbean cruise out of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and he joins us on the line to talk about it. How are you doing, my friend? Good, Doug, how you bad? Yeah, good, man, good. I'm excited to talk about this one because this is a unique cruise, because normally when you think of it, you know, you're going on a Caribbean cruise. You're leaving out of Miami, Lauderdale, Tampa, or whatnot. But you actually went down to San Juan to start this crew. So before we get to Rhapsody, we'll take a step back. Give us some pre-cruced thoughts. What made you want to take this seven-nighter on Rhapsody, but also have to fly down to San Juan

Puerto Rico from Ohio to do so. So my wife and I were big cruisers. You know, we've been on

shoot 20 to 30 of them just us, and I've been on probably about 50s, so we're avid cruisers,

and we obviously love it very much. And we went to Puerto Rico last July from my wife's birthday. Loved it. You know what? We said, we want to take one out of here, some of a few nights beforehand, and the price was right. A southern out of Puerto Rico during hurricane season on an old ship, you don't, you can't beat it. Yeah, no, certainly. So you mentioned you went in a couple of days beforehand. Like, what did you experience before you started sailing?

So we went in on Friday.

Yeah, so the cruise left out on Sunday.

We flew in Friday, got there around noon, stayed in Old San Juan, went to the Bucardi factory, you know, did that whole tour, got knocked over by the giant waves that they

don't tell tourists about on that northern coast of Puerto Rico, and hung out of the beach, got some good

food, got some seafood, and just hung out for my life and I for my 40th.

And you make your way on board the ship, or rather, rather to the cruise pier, I should say.

Now, correct me if i'm wrong but royal

caribbean they actually they don't embark right there in old san juan it's like a different

pier right to pan-american is that what it is so there's two there's like a one that's like south

and we actually screwed this up it's kind of funny um first off ubers and puerto rico greatest

thing ever they're like four dollars to go anywhere um so we took it to the wrong one I think it was the one the one that you just said Pan American was the incorrect one okay they were actually going out of the other one I don't know why I had been out of the Pan American but they were using the same one that Carnival goes that used to go out of which is on the north side um because yeah except we to Pan American. It was nobody there. I'm like, I don't think we're in the right spot. And he took us to the other one, which is a breeze. I mean, it's like 100 yards from where you go through the little under gate bridge to when you're on board. I mean, it's crazy. Nice. So how long did it take you from the curb to the ship? Four minutes. I mean,
