The Magic is in San Juan today having just completed a repositioning cruise from NY. It will leave San Juan today on a 5 night repositioning cruise to Miami. If anyone was/is on either of these sailings, could you please share your experiences in San Juan? hotels? cabs? shops? restaurants?
We originally had an OBB for the 1/28/2018 Southern cruise on the Wonder out of San Juan, but cancelled prior to PIF due to uncertainties in Puerto Rico after hurricane Maria. We are still considering rebooking this cruise with a GT rate, but after reading some reports on cruise critic, it seems that many hotels are cancelling reservations(some without notice.) Personally, I had 2 reservations at Embassy Suites San Juan for the front and back end of our cruise. When I called them last week to confirm my reservations, they said that those reservations will be cancelled and I will get an email shortly about this. I currently have Hyatt Place booked for 1 night pre-cruise and Hyatt Place for 1 night post cruise...but I'm nervous about not having a place to stay.
We've visited San Juan three times in the past and love it there. I would love to book the upcoming cruise out of San Juan, but feel uncertain about the timing with hurricane recovery efforts underway. (I've tried to find an organization to volunteer with before and/or after our cruise too, but I haven't been able to come up with anything.)
Also, here's an article that mentions the Magic in port today:

If you have any thoughts, please share.
Thanks,
Jennifer
