Creator's Key Takeaways
San Juan isn't just a cruise port, it's a destination.
In our experience, the southern Caribbean has the clearest water, more dramatic scenery, fewer overbuilt ports, and just a more exotic feel overall because of the geography.
Old San Juan is one of the most walkable historic cities in the Caribbean.
If you only have 2 days, that's perfect for Old San Juan itself.
