From reading all the postings on this forum, I was very concerned about taking the ferry to Culebra, so i decided to go the day before and purchase my tickets. I was able to purchase my tickets without a problem and on the way back enjoyed a visit to "El Yunque" rainforest and Luquillo Beach. From speaking to port authority personnel and Culebra locals, it appears that the passenger ferry does not have any issues but the main problem is with the cargo ferry that is needed by the locals to transport their cars and supplies that they purchase from the mainland. My sympathies to the locals that have to deal with this problem day in and day out. Hopefully this will be resolved soon!
I found the passenger ferry to be exactly on time and a very scenic enjoyable voyage to Culebra 1.5 hr trip. That being said I travelled mid week and it was not a holiday weekend. The price cannot be beat! I paid $6.50 for 2 people roundtrip. A great price for a ferry ride with a view! That being said, if you are on a short weekend trip and need to save time and get to Culebra right away, the airlines is your best bet.
