I would give this one a 3/5 had I not taken a taxi to the Castille fort. That place was awesome, got some great photos and history. Otherwise, the excursion choices were only so-so. I think the excursion that includes the fort was something like $120pp (crazy) - we paid $10 each (if I remember correctly) for the fort entry and maybe $12 for the cab ride up, then walked back downhill to the ship. ...
i love this city. We went on a shore dive with Aqua Adventure and had a blast. After that we caught an uber back to old san juan for lunch and a walk around the fort. There is a walgreens across the street from where the ship docks if you need anything. ...

The second problem is that there were five other ships in port with us - and half of them were "mega-ships".

San Juan, I only did a city tour which wasn't great really. I could have seen everything I wanted to see by walking 3 blocks from the cruise terminal. There may have been beaches and other stuff to see but the city tour was mostly worthless (compared to the price). The fort and shopping and dining near the port were the only things to see and I could have seen it for free (well paid the entry to ...
We took a bus tour of the city that include a visit to Castillo San Cristóbal which was very beautiful. The tour provide information on Old San Juan and New San Juan. It was a good time and very informative. ...
