Carnival Cruise: History behind the Walls Tour Excursion

Great way to see the historic sites in San Juan. Our tour guide, Noemi, was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. My kids and I learned a lot. Would highly recommend this trip

Do not ever go to Alex from Highlander tours he is very rude and unprofessional he told us we can do a rain forest hike to a waterfall and when we got there it was just the driver who didn’t speak any English he was no where to be found the driver took us up to the middle of the jungle for zipline and a river tour not what we discussed with alex at all so we had the driver bring us back to on hotel all in all it was a horrible experience and then Alex blamed us for wasting his time he wasn’t even there we had to pay the driver he her time because it was not her fault that her boss was incompetent waste of money and time don’t do it !!!!

The last stop on tour was the fort. Havianasos was our guide We asked how long he said take all the pictures you want. We turned around and he was gone. We tried to chase after bus. Ran into other tour people they said he said we were walking back. We never said that and it was a 3 mile walk back to ship. Not happy and we even gave him a tip!🙄

We had a stop at the San Juan Puerto Rico cruise port. It was really easy to get on and off the ship at this port. We took an excursion to the Fort and then out into the rain forest. Sadly you can tell all the devastation that took place on the island from the hurricane. This was definitely a beautiful stop. After the excursion we were allowed to walk around in old San Juan for few hours prior to having to be back on the ship.

We just sailed on March 10, 2019, on a 7 day cruise to the Eastern Caribbean on the brand new ship, The Edge. The ship was very nice, the food superb. The service excellent. And the entertainment great. We wanted to book a sunset sailing in San Juan but all of the tours were filled up. I guess we wailed to long. Book another cruise while on a cruise can save you money and comes with perks. Celebrity has become our cruise line of choice. They have a great CEO: Lisa Lutoff-Perlo.

A very interesting tour included as part of our Caribbean Island Tour on the Viking Sea Cruise. The guide was informative and included a visit to the old city, cathedral and castle

Cruise Excursion in San Juan: History, Mofongo and Mojitos

On our last Carnival cruise, we had a ‘new to me’ port – San Juan, Puerto Rico. And after reading so much about the city, I was excited to have some time to explore the area. We took part in a Carnival Cruise excursion —  Old San Juan Walk, Mojito & Mofongo Experience .

Explore Old San Juan

Our excursion began with a walking tour of Old San Juan. Our guide was born and raised in Puerto Rico and extremely knowledgeable of the area, especially the history. Our group of twelve set out to explore, learn and see the city from a local’s point of view.

We made our way through the shopping district (there’s time to shop after the excursion!) and I loved learning about the techniques and stories behind making hand-rolled cigars. The gentleman pictured below is quite a local legend – he’s even been featured in Cigar Aficionado magazine.

Pro Tip: When you visit the local merchants selling local goods – the ones with orange tablecloths are considered “certified sellers” from the local tourism agency.

Experience the History of Old San Juan

The views during our guided walk were incredible. If you go, make sure you’ve got a camera with you. I couldn’t stop taking pictures. We learned about the Puerto Rican culture, the neighborhoods of the city and took a look at the history of the town.

My favorite part of our walk included a stroll along the waterfront to the San Juan Gate just before the entrance to the Castillo San Felipe del Morro . And as a lover of fun facts, I’m so mad that I lost the notebook where I had scribbled down notes.

Throughout the walk, our guide did a great job of finding shady spots to stop and share stories and tales of this historic city. There is a stop about halfway through the walking tour for a restroom and water break too. Pro Tip: Bring your own water bottle!

Time for Mofongos and Mojitos

The walking tour ends at a local restaurant where the group is welcomed to a private dining area – and this is where the fun really begins. The head chef introduces everyone to the native dish – Mofongo.

Made up of rice, spices, butter, lettuce and chicken – everyone received their own ingredients to build their own Mofongo dish.

It was a hands-on activity (with plastic gloves!) that we really enjoyed, mine didn’t look as pretty as others, but I sure enjoyed eating it. Pro Tip: You’ve gotta mash the ingredients together – stand up and put some elbow into it.

It was our first time having Mofongo and it was delicious. Not too spicy and filled with flavor. Our chef let us know that while chicken was the ‘standard’ way of serving it – beef and steak are also substitutions too. Pro Tip: Dietary restrictions? Be sure to let your walking guide know when you check-in for the tour.

In addition to the mofongo, this excursion was also the first time I’d ever had a mojito too. How’s that for living it up on vacation?!

Rum, mint, lime juice, sugar and splash of tonic – it was a tasty drink, especially after our walking tour through town. The chef walked everyone through the process of making the drink and we were presented with our own – a nice touch on a hot day.

Great Cruise Excursion

This excursion was especially fun for me because it involved a hands-on activity. Instead of just listening or watching someone — I was able to take part in the fun. The walking tour took us to parts of the city that only a local would know and I appreciated seeing the ‘other’ side, rather than just the touristy areas.

If your Carnival cruise stops in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I would definitely look into booking the  Old San Juan Walk, Mojito & Mofongo Experience . With a three-course meal, drinks and a fantastic walking tour of the city – it is a great way to see the sights and learn too.

San Juan for the day: What to do while your cruise is in port

Colonial history, splendid natural beauty and trendy nightlife make San Juan a must-visit Caribbean port of call. In fact, it's a staple on Eastern and Southern Caribbean departures sailing round-trip from Florida ports such as PortMiami , Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades and Port Canaveral near Orlando.

San Juan attracts ships from across cruising's various categories, due in large part to its rich colonial history and fascinating combination of African, Caribbean and European cultures that are expressed in cuisine, the arts and music.

San Juan is also a modern metropolis with upscale dining and shopping. Its numerous attractions make arriving a day or two early a rewarding option for travelers whose ship home-ports in the city.

Carnival Cruise Line , Norwegian Cruise Line , Holland America , MSC Cruises and other lines all have scheduled multiple San Juan calls for 2021. Several Royal Caribbean ships will target San Juan as both a home port — a city from which voyages depart round-trip — and as a port of call in 2021.

San Juan is also found on Caribbean itineraries from premium lines including Celebrity Cruises , Viking and Windstar Cruises . Luxury operators Crystal Cruises and SeaDream Yacht Club will also feature San Juan among their 2021Caribbean port calls.

3 things TPG loves about San Juan

• A walkable historic district
• Delicious local cuisine
• Charming cultural attractions

What we could do without

• High prices, as restaurant meals tend to be expensive
• Limited beach access in the Old San Juan/Condado core districts

San Juan basics

San Juan became a Spanish colonial settlement in the 16th century, and today's cruise visitors primarily disembark in what is one of the Caribbean's best-preserved historic districts, known as San Juan Viejo, or Old San Juan. The quarter features imposing city walls, massive forts, cobblestone streets and terraced mansions. Visitors will find just walking about is a great way to spend time in the city.

San Juan is also a modern metropolis and the city's Isla Verde and Condado resort districts feature trendy hotels, gourmet restaurants, pulsating nightclubs and bars, and upscale shopping.

El Yunque National Forest is one of several natural attractions found across the greater San Juan region, and cultural attractions include rum distilleries offering tours and tastings. Each is accessible within the limited hours of a daytime port call.

Arrival details

The Old San Juan Piers are at Marina Street, conveniently located at the center of the district. This places most of the significant historic and cultural sites, including the iconic El Morro fortress, within easy walking distance. The piers feature modern terminal buildings and passengers will also find tours and transportation staged nearby.

Pier 3 mainly serves Royal Caribbean and its Oasis-class ships, the cruise industry's largest. The terminal features a two-story complex that houses restaurants, galleries and a duty-free shopping center. Pier 4 is managed by Carnival Cruise Lines and generally serves that line's ships and affiliated vessels. San Juan's Pan America Pier is situated south of the Old San Juan district of Isla Grande and serves larger cruise vessels.

Most ships call at the port for up to eight hours, giving cruisers time to explore several Puerto Rico highlights. Ships arrive in San Juan as early as noon and sail late in the evening.

• Time zone: Eastern time zone
• Languages: English and Spanish
• Currency: U.S. dollar

How to get around

On foot: Several of the island's major sights are within walking distance of the piers, although it's simple to book a tour of local sites through your cruise line.

By bike: Travelers can rent bikes at establishments that are within walking distance of the cruise piers. Try Rent the Bicycle at 100 Calle del Muelle. A daily rental is about $32, or rent by the hour (around $10).

By taxi: You can also arrange for a taxi or private car, or even a luxury or premium automobile tour.

By car: While you can rent a car, we think it's far easier to explore on foot, by bike or taxi/ride-hailing service.

By bus: Public buses are also available.

Top sights and shore excursions

The historic Puerto Rican capital of San Juan offers every element of a contemporary warm-weather vacation, with sun-filled skies, white-sand beaches and brilliant blue waters. San Juan also features historic and architectural attractions, from grand colonial palaces to airy public plazas to the massive stone walls that encircle parts of the city.

San Juan's Condado and Isla Verde districts offer a multitude of bars, restaurants, craft shops and boutiques, plus plenty of nightlife, open-air music and entertainment. San Juan provides visitors with another variable treasured by travelers: fun. There's an unmistakable atmosphere of good times running across this pulsating port city. Here are some favorite pastimes for cruisers visiting San Juan:

San Juan highlights

Air-conditioned bus tours of San Juan encompass the primary highlights of the new and Old San Juan districts. The tour passes Condado Beach's luxury hotels and condominiums and the Window of the Sea coastal outcropping. Continuing into Old San Juan, the tour passes the Capitol City Building and San Cristobal Fort. The outing ends at iconic El Morro Castle, the majestic 16th-century fortification. Other tour highlights include San Jose Church, the Western Hemisphere's second-oldest church, and Paseo de la Princesa, which offers sweeping views and a grand fountain overlooking the sea.

Bacardi Rum Distillery

This guided tour of the family-founded Casa Bacardi provides visitors with a historic view of San Juan and Puerto Rico through its sugar-cane industry and rum-making legacies. An introductory video follows the rum-making process from raw cane to molasses to the spirit, from vat to barrel to bottle, after which guests can sample the finished product, pick up some rum recipes and enjoy free time to browse the on-site gift shop and museum, as well as post images and short videos to social media via an in-facility production room. There is also an open-air restaurant adjoining the facility.

Bioluminescent Bay kayak adventure

The tour also includes San Felipe del Morro fortress.

Best beaches in San Juan

Many of Puerto Rico's best beaches are found on the island's eastern and western edges, beyond the San Juan proper. Yet there is still a handful of local beaches worth visiting.

While relatively small and at times a bit crowded, Condado Beach extends for several miles east of downtown and is a short taxi ride from Old San Juan. The entrance to this public beach is tucked between high-rise resorts. The beach offers the added convenience of proximity to the nearby Condado shopping and entertainment district.

Two-mile-long Isla Verde Beach is located 15 minutes from central San Juan and is very popular with families who enjoy its white sands and warm water. The beach is shared by a strip of premium hotels and features several restaurants. Parasailing, Jet Skiing and other water sports are available, and many consider Isla Verde Beach among the Caribbean's best urban beaches.

Another intimate beach, El Escambron, borders Old San Juan and the modern Condado District. Framed by a combination of ancient city fortifications and modern skyscrapers, El Escambron is San Juan's most picturesque beach and is located within Tercer Milenio Park, which offers recreational activities including stand-up paddleboarding.

Where to eat and drink

Dining out in San Juan encompasses everything from white-tablecloth fine dining to local food trucks serving delicious indigenous cuisine. Indeed, Puerto Rico has emerged in recent years as a "foodie" destination whose cuisine incorporates African, Caribbean, Latin and European influences and traditions.

San Juan is also recognized for a vibrant cocktail scene. The pina colada originated in San Juan and innovative refreshing drinks continue to be a city hallmark. There are numerous hip, trendy bars and classic bars and restaurants in Old San Juan, as well as across the Condado and Isla Verde districts. Brewery tours and rum tastings are also available.

Look for these local specialties:

• Mufungo: Deep-fried green plantains mashed with garlic and served with pork, chicken, crab meat or skirt steak.
• Tostones: Deep-fried plantain wheels, usually served with "mayoketchup" and garlic.
• Lechon: A slowly spit-roasted pork dish with juicy meat and crispy skin.

The San Juan suburb of Santurce is home to a lively art scene punctuated with hip restaurants featuring international cuisine spiced by locally sourced ingredients and traditional Puerto Rican recipes.

Food parks like Lote 23 and the Miramar Food Truck Park feature kiosks and food trucks operated by innovative chefs offering exquisite bite-sized dining in a casual atmosphere. Entire streets now feature popular restaurants, including Calle Loiza and Calle Fortaleza. Other top restaurants include:

The "ocean to table" cuisine at this upscale restaurant at the historic Condado Vanderbilt Hotel is the product of Executive Chef Juan José Cuevas' sophisticated palate. Special selections include crispy grain salad, braised veal cheeks over an apio polenta, passion fruit curd, coconut ganache and pineapple-cilantro sorbet.

Cocina al Fondo

This small, inconspicuous family restaurant on Ponce de Leon Avenue in the Miramar neighborhood can be easy to miss as it is in the back of an art cooperative and lacks obvious signage. Reservations are recommended. Dishes feature creative, fresh and flavorfully spicy Creole food at reasonable prices (between $10 and $24 per entrée).

Hecho en Casa

This family-run restaurant not only has the feel of an authentic Puerto Rican home, its name literally means "homemade." The eatery's "comida criolla" entrees include some of Puerto Rico's most traditional staple dishes and feature products and ingredients grown locally in Puerto Rico, all made from scratch, in-house.

Where to shop

When you're shopping in San Juan, look for souvenirs like:

• Handmade arts and crafts
• Handmade garments in tropical colors
• Hand-rolled cigars
• Custom and high-end jewelry
• Paintings and artwork

The cobblestone streets of Old San Juan are lined with small craft shops, art galleries and artisan goods. Travelers will find traditional vejigante masks in two styles: classic Loiza coconut masks and the Ponce-style papier-mache version.

Visitors will also find woven hammocks, home decor items and ceramics, serigraphs, paintings and sculptures depicting scenes from the Old City or the countryside of Puerto Rico.

Old San Juan also houses numerous art galleries, such as Galeria Exodo and Galeria Botello, which offer original pieces in different mediums by Puerto Rican artists. Shopaholic travelers should also make time to visit:

Ole Hat Shop

Ole Puerto Rico, located at 105 Calle de la Fortaleza, is a wonderful family-run, old-world hat emporium where the friendly staff will create a custom-made Panama hat for you on the spot. The prices are reasonable, and the customer picks the style of hat and the hatband. By the way, "Panama" hats actually originated in Ecuador, but so many workers wore them during the Panama Canal's construction that the nickname stuck.

Shopconcalma

Located on Old San Juan's Calle de San Francisco, this shop sells handmade purses and bags designed in collaboration with local artists using multicolored fabrics and recycled denim, and also carries jewelry, clothing and art by local designers.

This collaborative marketplace showcases young creatives and has a permanent location in a two-floor warehouse space in Santurce. Look for locally designed clothing and accessories, handmade jewelry, books, art and even services like hairstyling.

Bottom line

San Juan combines historic architecture and attractions that embody the island's rich legacy and historic past with contemporary authentic Latin and American culture evident in the city's upscale hotels, trendy restaurants and bars, diverse shopping opportunities and homegrown contemporary art scene. There's really too much to do in one port call but that's what return trips are for. If there was ever a must-disembark port of call, San Juan is it.

San Juan City & Shopping Tour Cruise Shore Excursion Review

I recently had the pleasure of taking my vacation aboard the Carnival Miracle. One of the cruise ship’s stops was in San Juan, Puerto Rico. My wife and I decided to take the “San Juan City and Shopping Tour” which was $39.99/person for 2 and a half hours. It’s my understanding that other Carnival ships that dock there are offered the same tour so if you’re heading to San Juan on a cruise ship, you may be on a shore excursion with passengers from other Carnival ships.

Let me assure you that this excursion, as far as we’re concerned, is the single biggest rip-off we’ve ever encountered on a shore excursion . Carnival cruises should be ashamed to offer this excursion. Thankfully it was “only” $80 for the 2 of us and not more than that.

The tour guide was the bus driver with a headset. She was kind and we didn’t have any issues with her. It was the tour itself that was ridiculous.

The tour begins with a drive up to San Cristobal Fort. That’s where the rip-off begins. The entrance to the fort is a few blocks away from the ship. Entrance to the fort is $3. So, we were driven a few blocks, and dropped off for 45 minutes. In fact, the fort is huge and a proper visit would take longer than that but at least we got to check it out. Now, the visit was on our own because there is no guided tour with this excursion.

We were then driven to the San Juan capital building which was a few minutes away. We were allowed to get out and take pictures. This was about 10 minutes.

We then drove to the Condado area of New San Juan. The drive lasted about 10-15 minutes and the tour guide just pointed to schools, hotels, and other benign buildings that we could care less about. The most interesting part of the drive was seeing a dog on a surf board fall in the water.

After the quick drive, we were brought back to Old San Juan to visit the shops. The bus driver asked us to let her know if we needed a lift back to the ship or if we would walk around and make our back on our own. I have news for you. The ship was one block away. We’re talking a 2 minute walk. If we chose to get a lift back to the ship, we were asked to be back on the bus within an hour. So the last hour of the 2 and a half hour tour never happened for us.

I don’t mean to be obnoxious by doing the math but the tour was $39.99 so let’s call it $40. There were about 24 people on our tour bus. Twenty-four people x $40/person = $960. So the tour company and Carnival split the $960 they raked in over a glorified 20 minute taxi ride. I’m in the wrong business! What a money machine, not to mention insult to my intelligence (and wallet).

We could have walked to most of the places we visited because they were 2 minutes from the ship ! If we wanted to see the hotels and schools, we could have hired a taxi for $10. Total rip-off.

Who is this tour good for?

The only people I can see that this tour might be good for is people who cannot walk up a slight hill. That way, they can stay in the bus and be driven around (and be ripped off). For everyone else, it’s a total waste of money.
