First time out of San Juan


Recommended Posts

Puerto Rico is a US territory.  No immigration when arriving from the US mainland.

Taxi is probably the best way.  It should be flat rate but they do charge a small amount for every piece of luggage.  Make sure the taxi driver knows you are going to the international pier for Royal Caribbean since there are two cruise piers in San Juan.  The bus transfer through Royal is another option. 

At the end of the cruise when you go to the airport to fly home all luggage in San Juan has to go through agriculture inspection.  Do this before checking in with your airline.  

Old San Juan is a beautiful city full of history.  Hopefully you have time to explore it.  One of the benefits of starting a cruise in San Juan is you get an extra port to start with.

And regarding San Juan, near the fort there are often local artisans with beautiful hand-make items, like painted feathers, leather goods, jewelry, etc.   I regret not buying anything when I was there two weeks ago.  It was a bit different from the normal gift shops...As noted, this is all walking distance from the port.
