Can you book a later flight on UA (3:02 pm, connecting in ORD) - maybe CO will agree to rebook you on that one without a change fee or change in fare?
It does get you in much later into EWR (midnight), and is an 8-hour total travel time vs the direct one, but you do get a little more time in Old San Juan.
