Considering the kids I'd do El Morro. It's a bit of a longer walk than to San Cristobal fort but might be more fun for them and here's why: If you take Paseo de la Princesa after exiting the ship to your left you'll come to a big fountain on the way where the kids can dip their hands and play some. To the left of the fountain, in the corner of that plaza, if you look down into the water they will see huge tarpon fish roaming around. There's a fishermen area right there and the fish simply stay most of the day waiting for the fishermen to simply throw them their scraps. If you're lucky, you'll see them in action and witness the frenzy from the fish. They'll love it! Keep walking around the base of the city wall towards the fort and re-enter the city through the old big red city gate. There's a snow cone vendor in that corner which comes handy because a snow cone can keep the kiddos entertained for the next part. Make a left upon passing the gate and walk up a short but steep hill towards la Rogativa Statue where they will get their first glimpse of the bay from above. Keep walking past la Rogativa and keep right at the fork in the road. On the way you'll find lots of cats here. There's a program called Save a Gato (cat) where they feed the strays, try to keep them healthy and even collect kittens to control population. The kittens, once matured a bit more, are put up for adoption through local Petsmart stores.
Any way.... at the end of this street lies El Morro. Families take the kids all the time to the grounds just outside the fort to fly kites since 90% of the time, the wind is great for it. You can buy kites at Walgreens or CVS when you leave the ship just across the street or from vendors locate on the very far right of the grounds in front of the fort on the street near one of the plazas (not towards the fort). Once you're done at the fort walk towards calle Del Cristo which is downhill all the way. There are some shops there and at Fortaleza street (make a left where vehicle traffic does at the bottom of the hill). But before making that left take the kids all the way to the end where an old chapel is located. To it's right is the Pigeon Park. Buy a bag of corn or peas for about a buck each and have the kids feed the pigeons. They will even eat from their hands!! It will be an awesome experience for them. You can do the rest of your shopping of Fortaleza street on your way back to the ship.
My kid is 15 now and we still love go to SJ and do things like this.
Wow thank you so much for the detailed reply, I will take everything into consideration, awesome tips!
Thank you!

We will have similar times in San Juan 7am to 2pm. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old. Which fort would you think it’s best suitable for the kids? I’m not planning to dwell too much since their patience don’t last too long lol but we would like to also do some quick shopping. Any ideas?

We are cruising for the first time in September. Where do I prepay? At the cruise planner? And is it too far out to prepay?

That seems so late considering kids wake up early and 1pm in port days? That’s even worse. I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old I was planning on staying in just to enjoy the ship a little less crowded. So weird!

I know my 4 year old will find it funny to use a swim diaper considering he is out of diapers since he was a little over 2 lol

I just got this bag at target, it’s huge not going to lie, but I will pack for 4 in this bag (me, my husband and 2 kids) so I needed something big, with zippers, cross body and big with front pockets to keep stuff organized.
Idk I’m already making good used of it for taking my kids for their activities (karate, swimming classes and ballet) lol!

We just got off Harmony last week, and did the BOGO dining package. They do pick the restaurant reservations for you at first, and you will not know what you have until the first day of the cruise.
All we had to do was go talk to people at the MDR on Deck 5 (Silk), where they had people set up managing reservations for all restaurants. We went there as soon as we got on the ship. We were booked on Izumi and Sabor, but managed to switch to 150 Cnetral Park and Wonderland with no problems or questions asked. Ended up eating at 2 $45 PP restaurants for $40 PP combined.
Awesome thank you so much for your reply!
How was your experience at 150 Central Park? That is one of the ones I want.

Space permitting, you can change/make reservations once onboard.
You can dine at the same or different restarant each time.
Thank you for your reply. They usually book for which restaurant or it’s super random? As much as I want specialty dining I really don’t want Sabor or Wonderland :/

Hey guys (sorry for any English erros, English is my second language ) I’m new here and I will be on my first cruise in September on the Harmony, needless to say I’m so excited.
Yesterday we purchased the refreshment package that was 30% off and we also purchased a BOGO specialty dining but we are a little confused how it works?
- The reservation is for the first and second day but we don’t get to choose a restaurant? They pick for us and if it’s not what we want we change it on the first day?
- Does the second restaurant has to be the same one or can be a different one?
- Last question: which specialty restaurants is your favorite?
TIA

I will be cruising for the first time in September with my husband and two kids. I’m confused how the tipping works. So I prepay the tip before cruising? Or I can opt out and tip at the end or it has to be as we go? Or I pay the suggested amount in the end like a bill?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question, it probable is 😬

I did mine. Just plan it out so they can heal before you have to do anything that it’s really important, like a meeting, special dinner or a cruise, because they will look crazy dark and will scab when healing! I have done 2 touch ups already, I don’t think I could ever go without doing it again.
Research research and research for a good professional. Look for before and after pictures ! I found mine and I will never change her. She is perfect!
