Check-in at MIA for cruise next day out of San Juan

[evanderm]

Hello Everyone,

 

Wondering if the collective wisdom of the board can help me out. According to the Miami Airport website, there are check-in desks for Celebrity Cruises in two locations at the airport. Our cruise leaves out of San Juan; but to get there, we are connecting at MIA. We have an almost 5 hour lay-over so I was wondering if it would be possible at all to get the check-in formalities for the cruise taken care of during this time.

 

Potential problems I can see are;

- Cruise not leaving from Miami or Fort Lauderdale;

- Cruise leaving the next day.

 

Any guidance is greatly appreciated. I will also try to report back here with my experiences. Personally I'd rather rent a car and do some exploring; but my travel companions aren't very keen on leaving the airport. At least the Admirals Club stocks free booze :cool:

 

Thank you.

I've never heard of checking in for cruise at airport.

 

San Juan checking is pretty organized. It won't take that long and u will be onboard.

 

Have a great cruise.

There are situations where you can drop luggage at airports - Anchorage if taking a Celebrity shuttle to Seward for example - but checkin need to be done at the port. Cannot imagine you could checkin in Miami for a San Juan cruise.

 

Enjoy the Admirals club!

Sorry, you will not be able to check in for a cruise leaving out of San Juan at the Miami airport.

As others have said you can't check in for your San Juan cruise from the Miami airport.
