TMS MT Posted September 19, 2016 #26 Share Posted September 19, 2016 We stayed in Condado at a VRBO on Ashford Ave in January 2015. Our taxi from there to port was $20 plus $1 each suitcase plus tip. Could be higher now though since that was close to two years ago! We also took the bus (21) into OSJ on our full free day since we had no luggage and no time limits. That was 75 cents.

TMS MT Posted September 21, 2016 #27 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Sounds like we were overcharged about $5. From other posts it appears the rate should be about $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catañoy Posted September 29, 2016 Author #28 Share Posted September 29, 2016 don't see puerto rico listed as one of the destinations.:confused: The web page was updated and now is showing San Juan as destination including 2 bus routes looping OSJ with the beaches.

bouhunter Posted September 29, 2016 #29 Share Posted September 29, 2016 We are in port from 7am-1pm, so not long unless we get up early! and not that keen on this as I'm on holiday and have a teenager in tow! Wonder if we can do the 75 minute HOHO and stop for a quick swim at the beach and be back for sail away without being up too early? Not travelling until next summer so will keep an eye on these boards to see how the HOHO works and the itinerary. Gillian If you've never been to Old San Juan it would be more relaxing to just explore the old city on foot, visit a fort, etc.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted October 13, 2016 #30 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Is the double-decker bus running yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger1964 Posted October 13, 2016 #31 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Since this is a free ride, it is usually packed full. If you get off, you may have a long wait to find a seat to get back on. Most people seem to use it for a full ride without getting off. We have found best to take the tram from ship to El Morro, and then walk/meander back to ship (for most part downhill!)

WYB! Posted December 27, 2016 #33 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) We have found best to take the tram from ship to El Morro, and then walk/meander back to ship (for most part downhill!) Any idea approximately how long it takes to do a loop? I mean how much time should I allocate to take the tram from ship to El Morro, and then walk/meander back to ship? I'm looking for just the transportation time involved (Tram to get there and walk back) and not including the time for exploring the old fort.

Rare crewsweeper Posted December 27, 2016 #34 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I think it would depend on which trolley you catch. the City Hall route does the shopping areas, but the combo route goes to both forts and the shopping, which takes longer and the Forts route hits primarily the forts, turns around and comes back. But if you miss one you may have to wait a long time for another. I know its a 30 minute leisurely walk back down from El Morro to Pier 4. We caught the out bound trolley at San Cristobal and it was a 10 minute 3 stop ride to El Morro from there. Because the El Morro Route outbound by passes the shopping and goes around the other side of the Plaza Colon, with only 4 stops, and 2 are not near the piers, I'd say it'd be 10-15 minutes to San Cristobal if that long. Depending on the number of ships in port, you might wish to head toward stop 14 near pier 1 , it's the last stop and usually less crowded than Stop #1 at Pier 4.

WYB! Posted December 28, 2016 #35 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Thanks for the information. Well, our ships is scheduled to Dock in SJ at 3:00PM and we are scheduled for dinner at 5:30PM with the ship departing at 10:00PM. Not sure if I'm going to be able to do anything with that schedule.
