San Juan Puerto Rico Cruise Port: Things You Can Do Without Excursions
San Juan, Puerto Rico turned out to be one of the most walkable and historic cruise ports in the Caribbean — and the best part is you don’t need an excursion to enjoy it. On this stop during our 50 days cruising the Caribbean, we simply walked off the ship, laced up our walking shoes, and explored the beautiful streets of Old San Juan on our own. Along the way we visited two incredible historic forts — the famous Castillo San Felipe del Morro and Castillo San Cristóbal — both offering amazing views and centuries of history. In this video we show what it’s like to explore San Juan without booking a cruise excursion, including: • Walking from the cruise port into Old San Juan • Exploring the massive Spanish forts and their ocean views • Colorful streets, historic buildings, and local atmosphere • Why San Juan is such an easy port to explore on your own On our channel Ed & Mai WanderFree Retirees, we share our journey of retiring early and traveling the world on a modest budget. Cruising is one of the ways we’re doing it — and we focus on what you can realistically see and do without expensive excursions or luxury spending. If you're planning a Caribbean cruise or dreaming about retiring earlier and traveling more affordably, we hope our experiences help show what’s possible. #SanJuanPuertoRico #CruisePortGuide #CaribbeanCruise #RetireEarlyTravel #TravelOnABudget
