San Juan -- Your Opinion

If you wish, PLEASE give your reasons. They could be very helpful to those who haven't been but are considering going.

I did enjoy San Juan, we just walked around the village and visited one of those forts, really nice.

It rained so that sucked.

And for RCCL the 9 day at least, was very short. 7-2, I am 30 not 80, 7am is not a time I wake up.

I found out though that we needed all that time to get back to smelly Jersey.

We enjoyed San Juan and it's beautiful people. Quite friendly. And the fort was awesome. I would say that a cruiser should go there at least once and experience it.

The rain forest were spectacular. My only complaint is that on our second cruise we were there from 6 PM till midnight. Horrible hours!

While we enjoy going to Puerto Rico for a long weekend, we are not fond of San Juan as a Port Stop!

Old San Juan is just too congested now.

We actually prefer the nighttime stop because of the atmosphere.

Yes but you can't really see the town, the fort, or the scenery. The place closes down early!
