port review: san juan puerto rico

Feb 14

I was so excited when I saw my recent cruise on the Sky Princess was going to San Juan Puerto Rico. I love going to new places and have never been to Puerto Rico.

Since this was my first time in Puerto Rico, I just wanted to explore the town of San Juan on foot. This is a great place to explore on foot. We were able to walk off the ship and start exploring. After speaking with fellow cruise passengers, we decided to get off the ship, explore early, and get back around noon before it got too hot. This was a great plan for us! We got off the ship and started walking toward the fort. On the way, we went by lots of local artisans. They were extremely nice and I bought some local jewelry to bring home.

The Fort you can see it from the cruise port

We had a nice morning and I loved not having to book an expensive shore excursion.

I loved the vibe and enjoyed walking about exploring with no plan. The locals were extremely nice. The buildings and the fort were perfect for this history lover. I would love to return with my husband and explore the fort and castle.
