rollie Posted November 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2018 We will be in San Juan on Christmas Eve. I’m thinking must things will be closed for the holiday. Maybe a stay on ship day? Rollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted November 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Doesn’t that island mostly celebrate Three Kings Day rather than Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welly world Posted November 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2018 We are also booked on this cruise. The shore excursion section has quite a few options to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollie Posted November 26, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted November 26, 2018 We’re mostly interested in the free shuttle. We plan on taking the shuttle to the forts and walking back through Old Town. We’re worried that the shuttle won’t be running. Rollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted November 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 26, 2018 This is a tourist area around the fort and Old Town - all will be open so you can spend money and they can buy XMAS presents and send their kids to college too. Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimletgal Posted November 26, 2018 #8 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Rollie - You will be fine! And, make sure to stroll around the area that takes you around the outside of Old San Juan - toward the Red Door. The Christmas decorations are wonderful! Enjoy!

Covepointcruiser Posted November 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I believe San Juan, with plenty of Roman Catholics, does celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas in addition to Jan 6 and most of the time between 12/25-1/6. Because they are still suffering from the economic impact of the hurricane tourist stores will likely be open. You will also have the opportunity of attending midnight mass usually starting around 11 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted November 26, 2018 #10 Share Posted November 26, 2018 According to the National Park Service website, the forts will be open for normal hours Christmas Eve. I would guess the stores will be open, but may close earlier than normal (but this is just my guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
