San Juan Cruise Port WORTH IT? I paid $20 at the curb for 5 stops, 3 forts and 1 beach — no $40 taxi, no hill climbs.
I rode the full loop from Old San Juan to see if this $20 van beats walking on a hot port day. We hit the Capitol Building, Convention Center with 20 minutes to stretch, San Geronimo beach fort, San Cristobal for photos, and El Morro for the lighthouse lawn view. I break down ride versus walk, who should pay, who should skip it, plus cash, timing and what to bring.
San Juan gives you something most Caribbean ports don’t — 500-year-old history 10 minutes from your ship. If you only want shops and restaurants in Old San Juan, walk it free. If you want Capitol, Convention Center, beach fort and both big forts without the hills and heat, this $20 loop is $4 a stop.
