skiiergirl Posted May 18, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2004 We will have a 12 yr old girl in our group (otherwise all adults). We will be in SJ for only a few hours....2 to 8 pm I think. I would be fine staying on the ship but didn't know if there was anything we should take her to see and do. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

imosoreal Posted May 19, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2004 We took our then 12-years old DD with us on our cruise this past Thanksgiving and she absolutely hated PR. I think she would have enjoyed a bit more if we had taken a carriage ride and did some shopping. We walked around a bit and didn't take advantage of any shopping waiting for better deals in other ports. She said PR was really boring for so we ended up back on the ship about 45 minutes later.

deubank Posted May 20, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2004 We enjoyed touring the fort closest to the ship. Very easy walk. Also, the Butterfly People is a nice shop to visit. A 12 yr. old girl would definetly get a kick out of it. I don't know if they have a web site, but I've purchased the same type of product in the US from [url="http://www.beautifly.net"]www.beautifly.net[/url] You could go there to get an idea of what the shop in San Juan is like. Very pretty and interesting. She'll love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish1c Posted May 21, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 21, 2004 We were there on a Sunday but lots of families w/ kids were at Fort Morro flying some of the most unique kites I've ever seen. Many vendors were selling them on the street. Trish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Anne Posted May 25, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I loved the rain forest and will be taking my 10 yo DD there next March. I am sure most kids would love it.

cruisevirgin79 Posted June 22, 2004 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2004 before you go you should read up and teach her about the history of San Juan and then take her to the forts and things to show her in person the history and events that happened there. Teaching our kids about history and other cultures are memories they will have forever. cruisevirgin79 Sov. of the seas 9/15/02 Exp. of the seas 9/18/05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
