Where to leave luggage in OSJ prior to boarding

[teresad2297]

Hi everyone -

 

We'll be overnighting it in San Juan for one night before we board Celebrity Summit (leaves at 8:30)

 

I'm trying to nail down the hotel - it will be myself, my husband and two young daughters.

 

We'd like to wander around OSJ a bit during the day before we commit to the ship (out of Pan Am pier)... we've been to OSJ before on a port call and missed seeing the castle? ... anyway,..

 

We'll have to check out of our hotel by 11 or 12 and would have a few hours before boarding (we're thinking about 4-5ish)

 

I saw someone else's suggestion of board ASAP and then getting back off the ship - sounds great except when towing our kids and at least carryons around if the rooms aren't available right away... and then it's an extra round trip taxi ride to and ffrom the pier--- less time to explore...

 

I'd like to leave our luggage at our hotel with the porter and then just come back, pick it up and take a taxi to the pier - done this many times in the states at reputable hotels.

 

My question is - what hotels would you trust for this? Also, it would really be a bonus if the hotel was actually in OSJ so we could get up and just walk out where we wanted to go unlike the Hotel Caribbe...

 

Any takers on this question?

 

thanks,

Teresa

We've done this at the OSJ Sheraton. That's where we're staying in a few weeks. We love the location. However, the service is on "Island Time" like most places in San Juan.
