  1. I'm interested for our pre cruise stay. We are flying in the night before (12/2) since we are flying in from the northeast. Thanks!

     

     

    .................

     

    OK google Airbnb Old San Juan...it is the one called Amazing View with Cozy Room. Not five star. Two flights of stairs to climb. There are others there you might want to check out but the location on this one is fantastic. We stayed around there before and its perfect. Its "old" but so is that part of San Juan...lol! If you do stay please let me know how your stay was. Thanks!

  3. Holiday Inn Express at Condado just cancelled our December 8 reservation. I have booked an Airbnb in Old San Juan close to the Cruise Port. They say they are going to close in December due to water and electricity problems. I think its because they have FEMA, relief workers, displaced residents staying there. Website says more guests than rooms available. No problem. I get it. I believe there are more rooms available at this particular Airbnb if anyone is not having any luck with the Hotels. Let me know and I"ll pass along the name. You have to climb stairs though but had to at hotel anyway. I, for one, am not taking any more chances with Hotels.

  5. Pretty much everyone in my roll call, and unmentionable social media group, have changed our flights to day of arrival. Most are arriving in the 11 to 2pm time frame for a 830 pm sailing. They are on early, ns flights from Newark, Philly, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, and Florida airports. So yes, most of us are more willing to take the flight delay chance than the sleeping in SJU airport chance. Our roll-call has a few that are optimistic about their San Juan hotel reservations and are arriving the day ahead. There is no right or wrong answer here. We will all make our best choice, based on our perceptions of risk, and then deal with the outcome, whatever it may be.

     

    Good luck and best wishes for a safe and uneventful trip to San Juan.

  7. Anyone has the option of flying to a SJU gateway city such as Miami...Atlanta etc. depending on airline and hometown. Take a nice airport hotel there and an early flight the next day to SJU...I don't see where that very good option is not available to everyone and could eliminate this Russian Roulette game so many seem to be playing with the hotels.

     

     

    Not when you are flying in from the East Coast of Canada on United who will not refund the first let of your ticket from Halifax to Newark. The only United flight to San Juan from Newark is 7:30 am on either Friday or Saturday morning arriving SJ at 12:20 pm. Again ticket is non-refundable. Would you be willing to take that chance - not me!!!! That flight might be just fine and land on time....and maybe there will be a three hour delay - which has happened to me many times on many airlines. I'm not going to miss the boat, I'll take my chances by leaving on Friday. Been to San Juan before. We'll make it work!

  9. Just got my fourth cancellation for 12/27-12/28. Went from Hilton to Hyatt House, to AC Hotel to and now Holiday Inn Express just cancelled. Think I might call the airline to ask about same day departure flights for our cruise.

     

    I have a reservation at Holiday Inn Express for Dec 8..have not been notified of a cancellation as yet. How were u notified if u don’t mind me asking?
