The port was very clean. We did the Sea Rumba Old City Day Tour which was very informative and lots of fun on the return boat ride to the pier with music and local drinks.

My favorite port of the trip because we were in a port in beautiful busting city. The downside was that our shore time was very short. It was from 10am - 2pm. We paid for the catamaran to take us across the harbor bc we heard traffic was atrocious in Cartegena. Unfortunately, one of the catamarans broke down so they were short a boat. We waited in line for about an hour after our start time. NCL said they would wait an extra hour for us to return but it still made for a stressful situation. Once across we headed toward the historical part of town. We walked past the Naval Musuem and walked around the walled part of the city before heading into the historical Square. We stopped for lunch and a drink which proved to be a mistake, only because of time. The food was fantastic but it was *very leisurely* (aka slow!) sonit ate up most of our shore time. We basically had to bee line it back to the boat to make sure we got back in time. This port would have been terrific to have had all day into evening at. There was plenty to see and do at a more relaxed pace.

Took a taxi to old town and just walked about. Architecture was phenomenal, with the old building surrounded by the ancient wall. Many shops, friendly people.

Got a taxi to go to walled city and for a total of $15 pp the driver did a tour. The only problem with Cartesian was the vendors, they were constantly in your face and don't take no for an answer. The taxi driver tour guide was excellent, took me to the best jeweler for emeralds, took us to a open air restaurant in middle of old city where we could have lunch. Excellent and far cheaper than booking thru Princess. A major disappointment is we were only there 4 hours.

We enjoyed the city tour, especially visiting the main square. However, the number of street vendors became tiresome.

Nice place, but the local vendors were very annoying.
