Hi Lisa Thanks for checking out my site and for leaving a comment If you dock on a Tuesday, you could check out the local music and dance show at the San Cristobel fort (it starts at 6pm and costs $3) As for shops not 100% certain of closing times when a ship is in port at that time, but would imagine some will stay open (makes sense to be open when 1000's of cruise passengers hit town). Other ideas: You could just wander around Old San Juan (even at night it's really a nice place to visit - most of the major sites are well illuminated) Do a Segway tour of Old San Juan Hit a casino (there is one at the Sheraton close to the piers or bigger ones in Condado / Isla Verde area) Take in a local restaurant and enjoy the great food here Your ship time is not the best, but you should still be able to have fun

Our cruise ship does not arrive until 5pm in mid July. What will be open? Are the stores open for shopping in San Juan? I heard that the town closes down at 6PM. I don’t see why a ship would get there so late if nothing is open. Please let me know what there will be to do in San Juan…
Thanks

There are two areas where cruise shipos dock and so it depends which one.

If its the Pan Am pier you will need to take a taxi.

If it’s the OSJ piers (and if this is just a port of call, it will probably be here), you can easily walk into to Old San Juan.

wondering, how easy is it to get from the Port in san Juan (cuise ships) to OSJ?

Should we walk it? is it easily marked, close? or a taxi? are they generally easy to flag down, pay, etc?
