On our first cruise we didn't know there were 2 forts (hadn't discovered Cruise Critic :( ) and we went to San Cristobal. I was so disappointed to see it wasn't the one that I had seen in all of the travel brochures. The next time we went to El Morro. :) Personally, I like El Morro better. I don't know why. Maybe it is because it is at the top of Old San Juan and we get to wander our way back down to the ship. The cemetary there is unusal to see, too.

 

Have a great time, no matter which one you see.

El Morro. That's the big one.

 

Puerto Rico being a catholic country, you will see cementaries in the middle of anywhere just like i saw in dublin,Ireland. For instance, in Isla Verde beach there is one between two modern condominiums.
