San Juan, Puerto Rico

Found this hidden gem while a cruise of the Caribbean last week. I needed to quench my thirst with all the shit beer on the cruise ship. Took a few quarts bottles back on the ship.

Cool. I spent 30 days on a Dutch tall ship. We had ONE beer - I haven't drunk a Dutch lager since.

I've heard it can be more difficult to sneak the beer on board a cruise ship than to bring it from Quebec to New Brunswick :cheers2:
Currently on tap: Nothing!

lol We had a few more opions than just one but I can understand you not drinking Dutch lager anymore. I survived on Grolsh, Becks and Guinness but it didn't get me excited to drink on the ship. You can take beer/wine on certain ships. We sailed with Princess and I believe they, Celebrity X, Holland will allow a few bottles for consumption in your room. I've heard Carnival and Royal Caribbean scan everything and will take it from you until the end of your trip. I had no issues with bringing on beer with Princess. I put it in a bag and let them X-ray and they didn't say a thing...

Have they started putting babies and children through xray yet while traveling on these ships yet?

lmao! Funny you should mention that. We took our 7 month old daughter and they just had my wife push her through the walk thru machine in her stroller. They didn't push her thru the luggage scan. lol. Suprise, suprise. :lol:

I was there in November and was oh so sorry to find Lupulo if I remember the name correctly only 2 days before I was leaving. Deadly little beer bar with 20 or so taps and maybe 100 bottles. On the Friday night there was a DJ spinning reggae and Caribbean music. I would happily go back to hang there with the lovely little surfer girl I met :mmm:

Well worth stopping in
I may be slow, but my work is poor
