Creator's Key Takeaways

old sand Juan is very clean and we felt very safe here this is a favorite cruise port

the panina coladas were worth it every penny these were by far the best pina coladas we have ever had

this is a pretty decent uphill climb to get to the fort and plan to spend around 2 hours here

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use the America the Beautiful pass for free entrance to Castillo San Cristobal.
βœ“Consider picking up toiletries from the Walgreens near the pier as a gift for your cabin steward.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Excursion costs β€” You can do this on your own for free rather than paying $30-$50 per person for a ship excursion.
Port location confusion β€” Note that the San Juan Cruise Port Terminal is not within walking distance of Old San Juan; ensure you are at the correct pier (typically 3 or 4).
