San Juan was my favorite port on my recent cruise. Because of my back pain I can’t walk as far as I’d like so I took a one hour trolley tour for $15 of old San Juan that was wonderful. I was amazed to learn they celebrate Christmas until January 23. Our ship was there till 10 PM so we got to see all the lights in old town which was beautiful. I am having back surgery in a couple weeks so hopefully after I recover, I can walk around San Juan to the beach next time. I’m definitely keeping this in my saved cruise video file. Thanks so much Kevin for your beautiful videos!!!

Such a great video. When visiting on a cruise in Old San Juan that is the best beach to visit and the one I go to all the time. The name is El Escambron. Sadly after Maria the food areas were ruined and won't be fixed for a few more years but there are clean bathrooms and outdoor showers until 5pm. It is also the surf beach in that part of the island. For a cruise visitor there is WAY MORE than that to do when walking off the ship - for a first time visitor always go to the EL MORRO historical site which is run by the US National Parks and Service. Work your way back to the ship from there. Mafungo was a great choice for Puerto Rican food! Glad you like it and def something visitors should try.

Not exactly sure about the direct relation to the holocaust but I do know Puerto Rico has the largest Jewish population in the Caribbean!

You are so living your best life! I've done one cruise around my own country (New Zealand) and across to Australia, however what I most enjoyed was when the ship emptied out during port stops and I had most of the ship to myself. Having already visited most of the stops before I wasn't missing anything. I'm definately an 'enjoy the journey' traveller too!
