We did our own food tour in Old San Juan....We had found out the names of restaurants in advance and then did a walking tour as well. It's a great city for walking and setting out on your own. ...
The ship was in port until 11:30. Many business were still closed or operating on generators due to the power situation. I was afraid to try any restaurants so I just walked around.

San Juan still showed signs of hurricane damage. We toured on our own and walked around old San Juan and the fort. The locals were happy to have us visit. They will be back 100% soon (we hope). ...

if you have a National Park Pass, take it with you as El Morrow is a National Park and your pass will save you the $7 entrance fee. ...
We arrived the day before the cruise and organized our own tour around the city and shopped. Boarding onto the cruise ship itself was very easy and fast. The city itself is amazing. ...
We were able to use our cell phones since it is part of the U.S.! Called my doctor for a prescription and he called it into the Walgreen's at the end of the pier. By the time I got off the ship and walked to the end of the pier, my prescription was ready! ...
Surprisingly this port was not as bad as expected. The hotel we stayed at was amazing. Intercontinental San Juan. I enjoyed the area. However, embarkation was a little odd. Boarded the bottom of the ship, had to stand outside waiting to board while fork lifts ran around loading luggage. I can only assume this is because of the damage from the hurricane. ...
