If it's just a day stop in San Juan, and not originating or ending there, you undoubtedly will be at one of the piers in Old San Juan. Otherwise, you'll probably be at the Pan-American.

Yes, in-transit voyages usually stop at the docks in Old San Juan. The homeported ships use the Pan American pier, but, that being said, it all really depends on how many ships will be there that day. A quick look at a docking schedule shows the Grand Princess in port that day with Carnival Freedom and Celebrity Eclipse... but it looks like Grand Princess arrives second, so it sounds like you'll be at OSJ. Good luck!

Agree with both the PP, the stops in-transit the pier has always been OSJ and cruises originating from San Juan have always been PanAm. (I've sailed from and to and had many stops in San Juan, so that's been my experience.) However I also agree it also depends on the amount of ships in port that day.

We are on that same cruise and actually that day in San Juan is my 40th Birthday! We have never been to San Juan..any recommendations on what to do there? I think we are there 4-10pm.

 

Thanks

Lots of things to do!

free trolley rides to take you up to the Fortress. Pina Coladas at Barachinas[originators], visit shops up/down the hill[butterfly shop/Linen shop, To the far left next to the ocean where the Big Fountain is= is a trail/walkway that goes up to the fort-if you travel up-there is a pink house which houses Cats that were strays/abandoned-CATO-we counted over 100 cats outside the home!! There are great restaurants as well.

Hmmm. Hopefully the menus at the restaurants don't include the denizens of the pink house!;)

No the cats are not served at all!-just lost cruisers at times=LOL!:p

if you go on line and look up old San Juan you can find a lot of info on food and where. The Condado district is also nice-its to the right of the port-need to take the Bus/taxi to the area-some very nice places to eat there-maybe 10-15minutes away. We like MIRO's across from the mariott stellarus
