One cultural note: don't overlook San Juan's new Museum of Puerto Rican Art in Santurce. It's a bit off the beaten path, but even cruise ship passengers should visit this beautiful new lavish ($42m) building, which contains a fine collection of Caribbean art, and showcases modern PR artists as well. There are several good restaurants on the premises and the grounds are lovely. Leave a Comment

Make sure you know a least a minimum amount of Spanish. A lot of the locals do not speak English.
Some good phrases to know are:
Donde esta el bano? -- Where is the bathroom?
Cerveza por favor. -- A beer please.
Habla ingles? -- Do you speak English? Leave a Comment

In the San Juan area, virtually everyone speaks English. It wouldn't hurt to know at least a little Spanish, especially if you want to see more of the country. Leave a Comment
