dawebber0922 Posted August 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hello...I have been scouring this board for a while and have not found the information that I am looking for so I thought I'd better ask :D My husband and I are sailing on the Adventure of the Seas, leaving San Juan on 9/26/15. However we are arriving on the 23rd to do some sight seeing, etc. We are staying at the Embassy Suites-San Juan and at this time are not renting a car. I am not sure if I need to or not as we really don't have any plans other than Old San Juan and the forts. Any suggestions y'all can give us about things to do would be great, also, should we rent a car? Thanks so much in advance for your help.

avgsuperheroine Posted August 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2015 From what I've read there's a trolley that will get you most places. I haven't been yet but am researching. The embassey suites charges $17 per day for parking so that would be an additional cost if you do decide to rent a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoofa1 Posted August 26, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Just a suggestion, ask at the hotel desk where the closest bus stop is and for about .75 per person you could take the bus into Old San Juan, verus a cab which would be about $18 or so one way, then once in Old San Juan there is an trolley which is free that will take you around Old San Juan, you are within walking distance of the forts, and return with the bus. I won't say it is the fastest way to get into town but we do it when we are in San Juan! Eileen and Norm Summit, October 31st, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawebber0922 Posted August 26, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks for your suggestions...what else should we do while we are there? Is Vieques worth the trip? I guess I could look for some tours to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozarkmama Posted August 26, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Check out Tours by Ellis if you would like to see the rain forest or other parts of Puerto Rico. We have used him twice and highly recommend him. We did this Mango Daiquiri tour in January and had a great time. Last year we did a rain forest tour. http://puertorico.en.craigslist.org/trv/5186317080.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsey D Posted August 26, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks Ozarkmama! I am chatting with Ellis trying to set something up. Cross your fingers for us...he wants a minimum of 3 people and we are only 2 :eek: We booked just the two of us with Ellis but had to pay for three.

Marylandteachergirl Posted August 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 27, 2015 We booked two and have to pay for three as well for our post cruise day in January. He definitely will work with you. We also have the option of trying to find two additional people from our roll call to join, then the cost pp would be less. Either way, you should have a great time. He seems very dedicated and has already e-mailed me with updates several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
