My Mom & I are going on the Golden on Aug 8. We'll be spending 2 nights in San Juan before the cruise. We're planning on touring the Bacardi Factory & El Morro as well as walking through Old San Juan. We're going to be pretty busy with this port intensive cruise!!

On our day on St. Thomas, we are planning on taking the 9:00 AM ferry to St. John for the morning, then touring St. Thomas in the afternoon.
We'd love to chat with others on the same cruise! Let me know if you'll be doing any of these excursions!!

WOW!!! You have really planned a lot to do. I hope you haven't overextended yourself. Sorry, I won't be joining you on the Golden, but can tell you it was a wonderful ship and you should have a good time. Your trip to St. John by ferry should be a highlight. If you choose to linger in St. John al ittle longer than expected, you can always shop at Havensight Mall (where the cruise ship docks) as they are sattelite stores of many of the in-town stores.

Angela & Meredith,
Am not going on the Golden Aug 8, but am considering a cruise on her with my family. Please give us a full report when you return (about the ship and your excursions). Would love to hear the details.
