San Juan at night

[progcas]

I will be on a cruise with my husband and 11 year old son in March 2008. Our ship docks at 5:00pm. What family activities are there to do? Carnival does not offer many. Thanks.

If you dock on a Tuesday - head straight to San Cristobel fort - they have a traditional music and dance show there that starts at around 6pm.

 

Otherwise - take a taxi up to El Morro fort (it will probably be closed) but the fort looks impressive even from just the outside. There is also a large grass area in front of the fort where you can fly kites (bought from the local street vendors for a couple of dollars.

 

Then just take a stroll back through the narrow streets of OSJ

Have fun

You might want to look at the Segway tour of old san juan. Im sure your son would enjoy that . I know that our kids are looking forward to it:)

NJS,

 

I have booked the Segway tour for our family in March. Please post when you get back and tell me how it went. I have heard of people getting there and not having a reservation. I guess they did some overbookings.

 

I haven't told my teens (15,17) in case it doesn't work out, they would be so disappointed.

I always print off the reservation confirmation:) and all emails, but will be sure to let you know when we get back.

You can do a night walking tour. We were on Carnival last year at that time & we will be again next Tuesday..We plan on doing the walking tour again..If you go to www.frommers.com you can search for old San Juan walking tour. We just like looking at the sites seeing that there really is not much more to do there..

We are bringing our 17 year old son on the Freedom that leaves Miami on the 22nd of March. Is that the cruise you are on?
