Harmony of the Seas - San Juan & Bacardi Factory

[ChristmasRose]

Years ago I visited San Juan on one of Royal Caribbeans newer ship (at the time) called "Song of America".  Yes, I admit that was a long time ago but back then, Royal Caribbean offered an excursion of "Old and New San Juan" that is very similar to the one they offer today except one of the stops was at the Bacardi Factory.  This year we are going on "Harmony of the Seas" in early October and since my husband's favorite drink is "Bacardi and Coke", I thought what better way to celebrate his 50th birthday than to take him there.

My problem is that, in the list of available excursions, I see the excursion that will tour old and new San Juan is still offered but this time, I see no mention of there being a visit to Bacardi (which is a real disappointment).  Can anyone who has recently taken that tour tell me if the Bacardi Factory is an unmentioned stop on that tour?  If it's not, does anyone else know if RCI offers another excursion that will visit Bacardi?  I've been reading through the descriptions for any excursion that looks like it might be a fit but so far am unable to locate one.  I know there is another excursion or two that offers tasting of the various rums from San Juan, but, admittedly, he is someone I would classify as being a "Bacardi Bigot" when it comes to rum.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

That photo is there just for tourist photo ops. The actual rum factory was moved to China years ago so Bacardi can make more money on their rum products! Sorry, couldn't resist that one......
