kimmyg726 Posted October 2, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Getting ready to head to San Juan in the next two weeks and have a few weeks and have a few question. 1- I've heard that the airport on Sundays is pretty rough. We have a late afternoon flight. How crowded is it as the day goes on? 2- Are the plenty of restaurants/food options in the airport? 3- What is the best place to leave our luggage for a few hours while we chill in the city? Thanks in advance! Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babu15 Posted October 3, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 3, 2012 We are cruising in December and have the same queries about where we can leave luggage. Our flight is in the late afternoon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! Kim Hi Kim! You're in for a treat, sailing out of San Juan. Hands down, my favorite sailaway so far. It's gorgeous departing at night! 1. It can be pretty hectic on Sundays. I would give yourself an hour or two to get through the Ag screening, check-in, and security at the airport. 2. Eat lunch in Old San Juan. The food at SJU is pretty bad (just my opinion). There is a sandwich shop, a pastry shop, and another place that I think serves a couple hot items. The food's not that good though. It's a place for snacks....not a full lunch. 3. If you're not taking a departure day excursion with your cruise line (these would hold your luggage for you too), I would take my luggage to Barrachina. You can do a search on them here in this forum, lots of info. They hold your luggage for free. Drop off the luggage, maybe get a pina colada there, and head out to explore Old San Juan. There are a lot of really great places for lunch in town. If you see a piragua (shaved ice) cart in town, be sure to grab one! I think they're only $2. The coconut flavor is delicious- sweetened coconut milk poured over the ice. I have to get one whenever I'm in the area, lol. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have more questions. ~Chrystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNV-IT!!! Posted October 3, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Great info. There was also a sport bar attached to the airport last time I was there. Great food. Ended up hanging there before our flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
