Sent from my iPhone using Forums There are two docks that the cruise ships use The Pan American Pier and the Old Town Pier...for your day port stop you will more than likely use the Old Town Pier which is across the street and steps away from Old Town San Juan....very convenient.

Just curious....the picture you post with your Cruise Critic name...hard to tell what year your Porsche is? I have a '69 911s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
993 Posted March 27, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hi again It’s a 1997 911 993 Iris Blue Metallic. Last of the air cooled Yes my friend in San Juan actually is a Porsche Technician and we’re having lunch with him. I’ve been to San Juan before, actually stayed at the old El Covento in Old San Juan. So I remember the area but not so much of the piers/Port areas. Thanks Dede Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted March 27, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Great. That’s what I was hoping. Thank you for confirming that info. Appreciate it. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Forums While it is true that ships making port calls generally dock at the Old San Juan cruise terminal as opposed to the Pan American cruise terminal, the information you've been given is slightly incomplete. There is actually more than one pier at the Old San Juan cruise terminal itself and two or three ships can be docked in Old San Juan at the same time. So when your friend comes to meet you if there's more than one ship in port that day they'll have to visually identify your ship and wait for you at the entrance for the particular pier where your ship is docked. The piers are all adjacent to each other. Edited March 27, 2018 by njhorseman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next question is where is a good place (restaurant)to have a good lunch. It would be great to find something with a good atmosphere and local Puerto Rico food. And a place that will take US dollars. Weren’t not wanting to use a credit card. Thx Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Puerto Rico is part of the United States. so all monetary transactions are in US dollars just as if you were anywhere else in the US. ;);) For an inexpensive restaurant featuring Puerto Rican food, try Cafe Manolin on Calle San Justo. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g147320-d1976209-Reviews-Cafe_Manolin_Old_San_Juan-San_Juan_Puerto_Rico.html . It's not at all fancy or stylish, but the food is authentic. http://cafemanolinoldsanjuan.com/?utm_source=tripadvisor&utm_medium=referral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
