We did not schedule any excursions in San Juan, preferring to walk around the town near the dock. Since people could start going ashore by 8:00 am, when we left by 9:15 we had no lines and no crowds. There were mobs of taxis at the end of the pier trying to sell city tours, but we just wanted to do our own thing. We were the only cruise ship in port at that time so they were eager for business.
Our first stop was a monument to Christopher Columbus (left) we also saw the San Cristobol castle (right) before finding the street with all the souvenir stores (bottom left)
We walked on up that steep, one lane street to see more of the town, and eventually came to a quiet park with the monument on the right.
Since it was rather hot, we headed back to the ship. Fortunately, that walk was all down hill.
After a cooling swim in the pool it was time for lunch.
We had some quite time in the afternoon so Katie, Becca and I played some card games before watching the 4 pm sail away. Then we headed to dinner. We were surprised to see surf and turf on the menu on a non formal night. It was delicious!
Tonight's production show was a premier for this cast. It was called 5 Skies, and was nothing like any prior Princess production show we had seen, since it put you inside a video game with levels and battles against foes. But I can truly say that the costumes were fantastic (see pictures) as the singers and dancers did a great job of telling the story.
Tomorrow we arrive at Grand Turk at noon. I'm looking forward to seeing the John Glenn exhibit once again.

Looks like another fun day - that show looks so interesting. I have never seen costumes like that in a Princess show. Your dinner looked fantastic and I'm also surprised it was served on a non-formal night. Enjoy your day tomorrow! Claudia
