Despite two other Royal Caribbean International ships skipping planned stops in San Juan due to civil unrest, the cruise line’s Allure of the Seas arrived in Puerto Rico Thursday.
According to El Nuevo Dia, the Allure of the Seas arrived at Pier 3 in Old San Juan Thursday morning with over 6,000 passengers onboard, just hours after protests calling for the resignation of Governor Ricardo Rossello turned violent.
