Welcome to beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico. I must admit that we were not looking forward to being in San Juan again. The Spring before, we visited this port on our Eastern Caribbean cruise onboard the Explorer of the Seas (Royal Caribbean.. great ship) and we had a terrible experience. The place was clouded over with sporadic rain, which only added to the heat and humidity and the rush of taxi drivers hounding you to take you on some tour or the other. Just didn’t make for a welcoming experience.

NOT THIS TIME !

As mentioned, it was a beautiful sunny day and as soon as we left the airport we encountered very friendly people. As you exit the airport with luggage in hand you go up to this “taxi kiosk”. You then tell them how many people are in your party, where you’re going and how many pieces of luggage and you’re given the cost of the taxi. A very simple and effective way to get a taxi.

We planned it that we arrived a day early since it was the end of January and our winters can be terrible this time of the year. We just didn’t want a cancelled flight to have us miss our ship. Plus we wanted to get in the day early to relax and extend our vacation. I would highly recommend flying in a day early to san Juan just so you have extra time, should your flight get delayed or as in our case.. luggage goes missing.
