Hilander Posted September 2, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Hi, Our ship doesn't dock until 4 p.m. on a Tuesday, so we won't even get out into the city until sometime after 5 p.m. ... Having never been to St. Juan, what should my DW and I look to do? We're not nightlife types, but if there are some sights that shouldn't be missed, or stores (not for me ... honest!) that need to be visited before closing time, I'd love to hear suggestions. Also, anyone have a great tip for a restaurant?? Most appreciated! Hilander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schack74 Posted October 9, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 9, 2004 I'm interested in this also. Not sure why most ships get to San Juan 4 or 5:00. Anyone have any suggestion on what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pholter Posted October 10, 2004 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2004 It's perfect to just walk around Old Town San Juan, see the forts, take in a nice local flavored dinner and drinks, take a carriage ride, gamble a bit, hit Lazer Disco for a little while, and do a little shopping. It's all walking distance from the ship..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailing lady Posted October 17, 2004 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2004 If you've never been to SJ, be sure to tour the fort if possible. Although it may close before you have time to get there. If February, we'll be arriving at 4:00 on Tuesday as well - Star Princess. Having already been there several times before, we'll head to our favorite jewelry store, Shopper's Paradise. They will be open until 6:30 - 7:00 when ships are in port. Then we'll stop by the Parrot Club for a wonderful yellow bird drink. Then head back to the ship for dinner onboard. Have fun!

JimP Posted October 20, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Might want to consider Walking Tour with Legends of Puerto Rico. Debbie is very entertaining. We did her two hour tour in the morning. I know she has a two hour tour in the evening. Certainly better than trying to do a tour on your own. Bus tour will not work in Old San Juan - streets are too narrow. She has a web site that I can help you find if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurwitz5 Posted December 29, 2004 #7 Share Posted December 29, 2004 We will be arriving at 4:00 pm in San Juan - Caribbean Princess sailing on January 22, 2005. I would like to do a walking tour with Debbie and would appreciate her website, including the cost of such a tourl. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBachi Posted December 29, 2004 #9 Share Posted December 29, 2004 what do the cruise lines offer? are any of these options worth my time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8sMom Posted January 18, 2005 #10 Share Posted January 18, 2005 We will be in San Juan aboard the Star Princess in March for a late afternoon and evening visit. Where is Shopper's Paradise and the Parrot Club located and what is a Yellow Bird Drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailing lady Posted January 25, 2005 #11 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Shopper's Paradise is located at 202 Calle Fortaleza. The Parrot Club is at 363 Calle Fortaleza. They're within walking distance if docking in Old San Juan. At the Parrot Club, the drink may be called Passon Drink instead of yellow bird. It's fruity, yellow and delicious. Enjoyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
