puerto rico: I am trying to find the best deal price wise and destination wise to go on a cruise to Puerto Rico. Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences they'd like to share? No rude comments please|||Hi! Puerto Rico is awesome! You will love it! I personally recommend that you go with a Southern Caribbean itinerary that embarks out of San Juan (I recommend Princess Cruises. Great itineraries and a great experience. It's also a lot more laid back and at your own pace if you prefer that) I also suggest that you book a flight and hotel the day before your cruise departure. That way you can wake up and have the whole day in Puerto Rico, seeing as most ships usually leave the docks around 10pm and 11pm. Just my opinion, but it's one of my favorite islands. There's a lot of culture and history there that shouldn't be missed. Also, I'd try to find a cruise sometime around the winter months (another benefit to this is you're out of the hurricane season, and it's typically drier in the Caribbean in the winter. You might not get as much humidity, either), especially if you're in a cool climate. Nothing like stepping on a plane in a snowstorm and then landing in Puerto Rico!|||I believe that all cruise companies who have ships in the Eastern Caribbean have stops in San Juan. The waterfront is very nice -- restaurants, bars, plenty of shopping, etc., all within easy walking distance. Old San Juan is right there, very hilly and with very tiny streets, but if you get lost all you have to do is walk downhill and you will be back at the shore and see your ship. Most ships also offer various shore excursions, too. Since there are so many choices, do a bit of research on the various cruise companies. I believe you will probably find Carnival the least expensive, but check them all since there can be some really excellent specials on others, too.
