Choose El Morro or San Cristóbal, then fit coffee and an old-city walk around your return.
Old-city food & streets

A separate beach outing
Choose beach time as your main stop, with a return ride and conditions checked before you settle in.

Beach beside the ship
Stay close with a beach stop, lunch and an easy-to-shorten day.
Cockburn Town museum
Visit the museum while it is open, then return toward the ship before adding lunch.
Pool & lunch
