Puerto Rico Port. Xmas Day
 
Hello
my family and I are taking a holiday cruise this year 2023. Instead of having a day at sea NCL scheduled us to port Puerto Rico 1230-8pm. I know that it is a holiday but is there anything to do other than the beach? San Juan/OldSan Juan?
thanks
Heather

Old San Juan is a beautiful, historic, easy-to-walk small town really. I imagine some things will be open & some closed (El Morro closed) but will still be a delightful place to stroll & take in the views. Much better than "at sea" to my way of thinking. There will certainly be places to stop for drinks & to shop. You may want to investigate possibilities & reserve for an afternoon lunch or early dinner. El Convento comes to mind, check reviews as it's been too long since I was there: https://www.elconvento.com/dining

I don't really know your interests but you could spend the day hiking in a Yunque rainforest.

Than you for ideas
 
I appreciate your responses. I will let my husband and girls know about hiking if they choose. I’m confined to a wheelchair which will make some activities impossible or difficult to navigate. You have helped give options, 😊

Old San Juan streets are blue bricks and a lot of hills. It might be difficult to navigate in a wheelchair.

Did you ask on the Roll Call for your voyage on Cruise Critic?
