I just hate hanging around a hotel after 11AM checkout. Every time we ask for a late check out, it's been granted. So we leave at noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted October 3, 2019 #53 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Are there any stores open on Sundays in OSJ, we might want to do a little shopping before going to the ship. We will spend Saturday the day before walking OSJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really going to depend. As someone who practically lives out of hotels, I have been denied a late checkout many times, from both chains and independent hotels. It just really depends on capacity, staffing (for housekeeping), any elites who may have priority for late checkout, etc. But yeah, I get denied a late checkout at least a few times each year.

Bob thank you, but was thinking Sunday before we board, if not then we might see if we find something for the family on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catugirl Posted October 6, 2019 #61 Share Posted October 6, 2019 We have stayed at the Marriott (Stellaris Casino) and loved it. It’s oceanfront, the staff are friendly, the rooms are nice, the view is beautiful, the pool is fun and the food there is good. We took a taxi to the pier, and it was not a long trip. We would stay there again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted October 6, 2019 #62 Share Posted October 6, 2019 While we won't be there before our cruise, daughter & I have a Day Pass after our b2b since our return flights are not until 1 AM and hers at 1:30 AM. and looking forward to spending the day there.

Holy smokes Gay! Are you going to nap at the airport? I wouldn't be able to stay up that late to catch a flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted October 6, 2019 #64 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hey there, no daughter & I will spend the day at the Marriott enjoy the pool or whatever, get some dinner before heading to airport later. Flights out of SJ back to West Coast are terrible. Only flight afternoon of cruise left me with a 40 min connection in Newark, on United everything else was way to high or would have to spend the night and another $200 No Way doing that. AA wanted $1255 R/T. ended up with United's 1 AM FLT( Monday March 23rd ) via Newark & 1:25 min stop then Denver to PSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed at that Courtyard maybe six years ago and long before the hurricane. It was nice, not luxurious by any means. The “Courtyard” brand felt appropriate.

Nothing better than waking up and seeing your ship from your window. Agree...we are booked at Sheraton near the pier. Picked window view room that looks onto the port area. 🙂 BTW: Love...love your avatar picture. Sooo cute! 🙂 Edited October 6, 2019 by island lady 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katiel53 Posted October 9, 2019 #72 Share Posted October 9, 2019 We haven't sailed from San Juan in a few years, but we always stayed at the Marriott Stellaris. We enjoyed that area and we were able to get a cab to the Pan Am Pier easily, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki W Posted October 9, 2019 #73 Share Posted October 9, 2019 We were there in July and stayed at DREAMS MIRAMAR. It is no frills, but clean and convenient with extremely friendly staff. They also gave us a free ride (a shuttle? More like a pick up truck ) to the pier at our preferred time. I highly recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
