My husband and I left Pittsburgh on Friday, Dec. 10 and arrived in San Juan around 2:30 in the afternoon. No problems with the flghts. Upon arrival we took a taxi to the Intercontential Hotel, which we purchased on Hotwire for $129.00. The hotel is very nice. The outside grounds are beautiful. They have a beautiful pool area and it is right on the beach. We were tired from getting up early and the stress of traveling. So, we just decided to just take it easy at the hotel for the day. We ate dinner at the hotel. Which was alright but I wouldn't do it again. It was expensive and not that good.

Saturday morning we got up and went across the stree to a small family style restaurant for breakfast. There was also a Ponderosa across the street. Then we walked a couple blocks to a local grocery store to get some things we needed to take on the ship.

We proceeded to take a taxi to the ship around 11:00 a.m. I told the taxi driver we needed to go to the Pan American pier and the Celebrity Summit ship. As we entered the cruise port we could see the Summit. The taxi driver lets us out and hands over our checked baggage to the porters. Meanwhile, the doors are not open to go in. So we wait in line until noon when the doors finally open. Upon getting up to the door we were informed that we were at the wrong ship!! Here the taxi driver dropped us off at a RCCL ship. The first thing I thought about was OMG they have our baggage. Now what do we do. You talk about panic! I went and explained our situation to a porter and he immediately took us to the terminal where they take the baggage. The security would not let both my husband and I go in. I went with the porter and thank God we found our luggage!! The Celebrity entrence was right next door, so we didn't have to go far.
