Creator's Key Takeaways
We are so excited to be on our second Caribbean cruise as a family. Our first one was on the Celebrity Beyond and this one is on the Majestic Princess.
The trailhead gets very busy, and by 11:00 a.m. today, it was very crowded. We recommend taking a smaller car and being here early to get a parking spot.
If you do a private guided tour, is to be aware that since the private tours are so flexible, the extra hours add up fast, especially with traffic.
We highly recommend getting out on an upper deck to enjoy the city lights and the forts as the ship goes by.

We are on our 7-night Eastern Caribbean Cruise, and San Juan, Puerto Rico is our 2nd port of call. About an hour from the San Juan cruise port is the ONLY tropical rainforest of the United States, where we explore the waterfalls, towers, and trails of STUNNING El Yunque Rainforest! We hike the LUSH Mount Britton and Angelito Trails and stop at the BEAUTIFUL La Coca Falls. We also venture to a MASSIVE and interesting cave, a REMARKABLE 17th century fort, and the historic, COLORFUL district of Old San Juan!
