Not much to do outside of Skyride. It was shaky and scary but I did it. Bushwacker drink was yummy and the views are worth it

I made perfume at Tijon! Great experience. Catch the bus downtown if you're alone. Otherwise taxi fare is a ripoff.

It rained all day even though we were in port until 8:30pm. The guides lied about the reason the caves bus driver was late. It ruined the whole excursion. The caves were nice but it felt rushed.

I did "express" debarkation with my luggage and it was Horrible! Carnival had one elevator for The hundreds debarking with luggage!

The cruises from San Juan / Barbados and 7 day cruises tend to attract more families and older cruisers than parties. If you are looking for a younger part my crowd, try a 3-4 night cruise from Florida.
