Hi Jordan,
Thanks for sailing by planDisney with your question! I love the
city of San Juan. It is a great port from which to begin your Disney Cruise Line adventure, and you are wise to arrive early to explore some of the highlights of this area.
I have stayed in several hotels in San Juan that I would recommend. First, Disney Cruise Line and I agree that the iconic Caribe Hilton San Juan is a great location, especially for families, for a pre-cruise stay!
Disney Cruise Line can book your stay there if you would like. Another of my favorite historic hotels, with a luxurious lobby filled with hand-carved mahogany walls and marble floors, is the Fairmont El San Juan Hotel. While I have not stayed here, a friend recommended the Marriott Beach Resort and Casino in San Juan. Hopefully, these recommendations will get you on your way.
Do you have plans for your days in San Juan, Jordan? The Castillo de San Cristóbal and El Morro citadel, both World Heritage and National Historic Sites, are great places to explore and grab some local cuisine in the old city. El Yunque Tropical Rainforest is a more adventurous way to spend a day. You need to rent a car or book a tour that includes transportation, but I think it is worth the trek. I trust you will enjoy your time in San Juan before boarding the
Disney Magic!
Your
Southern Caribbean cruise will be filled with gorgeous blue waters and stunning landscapes! In the evenings, you will enjoy the onboard entertainment, including one of my favorites,
Tangled: The Musical. Be sure to keep an eye on Maximus, the trusted steed!
I hope this information is helpful as you plan your pre-cruise stay in San Juan, Jordan. Please let us know if you have other questions!
Wishing you many magical moments,
Shannon
