We didn’t stop here until 2 pm, getting off was VERY CROWDED for about 30 minutes. I recommend finding room on an elevator and taking this down to level 1 vs. standing in line on all of the stairs. If you’re planning on seeing the ‘old city’ as we did, here’s what to do: Immediately upon getting off the crowded pier, find a cab that will take you to the top of the very steep hill to the large fort – El Morro. Do not take a cab that wants to give you a $15/person ‘tour’ of the city (as most of them do). This will get you away from the crowds and let you walk back to the ship downhill! Make sure you find the park with all of the pigeons (ask anyone) and the bar that invented the Pina Colada (a little tough to find but worth the effort!). I thought El Morro was great and the old city was ‘ok’. We will definitely do something besides the old city on our next visit to San Juan. Many on the ship told us that the Rainforest side excursion was the best alternative to the old city.
