Shop Around

San Juan

There’s a reason San Juan is such a popular cruise port — the shopping is fantastic, both the brands you know and the local artisans that dot the storefronts of Old San Juan and in the chic shops of Condado. And if you’re coming from the US, you don’t need a passport, which, more importantly, means you can bring back as much as you want. Wheree to Stay: the O:live Boutique Hotel in Condado.

Willemstad, Curaçao

The Dutch Caribbean’s most beautiful city is home to great shopping, on either side of the Floating Bridge. Because of Curacao’s proximity to South America, this has long been a favorite stop for Latin Americans to shop — and that’s cultivated a top shopping experience no matter where you’re coming from. Where to Stay: Sonesta Kura Hulanda Village and Spa.
