9:45 am flight out of SJU after cruise

[rjm11]

We are going on the NCL Gem next fall R/T out of San Juan.... and on debarkation day there's a good looking flight that leaves at 9:45. We will have priority suite debarkation- but is this still cutting it too close? How close is the pier to the airport? How plentiful are taxis? etc.

That is too early and risky. You have to clear CBP at the cruise terminal, get a taxi, get to the airport, clear Agriculture and then clear TSA. San Juan Airport can be very busy. I would not book that flight.

 

You don't know what time they will begin disembarking guests.

This past Tuesday we saw people literally running down the hall to get on the planes as "final boarding" announcements were made. A couple on our flight said the line at TSA was over an hour long, and they had gotten to the airport two hours before their flight, and barely made it.

That "good looking" flight may turn rather ugly ;)
