Has anyone been to here since Irma? The ship does not offer many excursions and I’m wondering if it’s because the island is still in some chaos and they are trying to keep tourists close to the port?

What are your port hours? We are going in a few weeks in port 3-9. So there are only 5 tours available. San Juan has always been a great walking port.

We were just there (pre-cruise)...do this port on your own...not worth booking an excursion.

Arrival time and total time at port determine the tour options available for a stop in San Juan. For example, El Yunque rain forest is about an hour away from port and closes its gates at 6 or 7pm. So if you get into port at 4pm, a tour to the rain forest is not really feasible. Now, if your ship come in early in the morning, the length of the stop also comes into play. Some stops are as short as 5 hours, which don't really leave to much space for long tours or anything outside Old San Juan except maybe a beach day.

 

But as another poster said, you can do San Juan on your own easily.

It seems to have returned almost to normal as far as tours go except the rain forest. If you never have been to the old city do that walking or tour, whatever suits your needs. Or as i say go to the beach, Rain or shine beautiful nature, i love watching storms at the beach so i am always happy there.
