ragethjj23 Posted May 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hello, we are going on a cruise going out of San Juan. We are going to get the FTTF and would like to do some exploring. Are there any excursions/tours that we could do the day of embarkation? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkgun Posted May 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2014 What kinds of things do you like to see and do? There is lots to see and explore in Old San Juan like the city itself.... just walking the streets looking at buildings, streets etc. Exploring the Forts (El Morro and San Cristobal). You can take the ferry across the bay and go to the Bacardi factory do a free tour and get some free drink samples. I know there are a couple of places that do Segway tours of the city. I have even heard of people hurrying on the ship and then back off to hurry over to El Yunque rain forest. Just have to be back on board for the all aboard call at 8:30pm. There are others I am sure, just depends on what interests you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragethjj23 Posted May 8, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted May 8, 2014 looked at it and got some ideas, but wanted some opinions of fellow cc folks.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingFamily2005 Posted June 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 14, 2014 have you checked out Puerto Rico Cruise Excursion ? Checked the site and got some ideas as well. Have you used them?? Their price is pretty decent. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcikon2 Posted June 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 14, 2014 1. Make sure to arrive in San Juan at least a day prior to your cruise. 2. You do not need a tour to explore OSJ. You can visit the forts and stroll the streets on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Good Cruising Posted June 14, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 14, 2014 There is a free tram in OSJ that will take you to both forts and a nice way to see the city. http://www.puertoricodaytrips.com/free-trolley-old-san-juan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinky49252 Posted June 15, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hello, we are going on a cruise going out of San Juan. We are going to get the FTTF and would like to do some exploring. Are there any excursions/tours that we could do the day of embarkation? Thanks I'm not sure FTTF is worth it when embarking in San Juan. We have cruised from this port twice and because of the late departure from the port there has never been an issue with a lot of people embarking. We have always got thru with no wait. I know its not that much for FTTF but with this port you can board eat and do some sight seeing on the ship and get off/on the ship as much as you want which is so nice since you don't leave port until late at night. Old San Juan is fun to experience at night on the weekends. We were able to walk down to the pharmacy to stock up on our pop/water to take on board with us. This is just my opinion others might want to weigh in on this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrb1963 Posted June 15, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I would agree that FTTF would be a waste of money. There are no tender ports and little to no wait to embark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
