Airport Question

[It's a Fair Port]

This is our first cruise so hopefully these questions will not sound too stupid! We are booked on a 5 pm flight on Delta to return home after our Viking Ocean Cruise. How early will we be able to check our bags? If we cannot check them, is there a storage area where we might leave them so that we can go and do something? Does the airport have adequate comfortable seating (before and after security clearance) while we are in all likelihood stuck there for several hours waiting for our flight? Haven't been thru this airport in at least 20 years so don't know quite what to expect. Thanks for any information or advice more seasoned cruisers may have.

We chose to drop off our luggage at Barrachina restaurant for a few hours while we walked around OSJ and walked through the forts. Then we grabbed a taxi, picked up our luggage and went to the airport.

This is indeed the most popular option....OP something to consider.

You have to check which dock you are sailing from. If you arrive at the Pan American pier you will have to taxi into Old San Juan to get to Barrachina, then take another out to the airport. If your docking at the Old San Juan piers then you just walk to the place then taxi out. But really, Barrachina is your best option to store your luggage and go see the city.
