glentally Posted January 1 #1 Share Posted January 1 Flight out is at 6:30 pm. Either get off early but I have already done DT San Juan and the Fort. So I thought stay on the ship then head to Airport to watch NFL Playoffs on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last few cruises, not San Juan, they have been clearing the ship completely by 9;30. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted January 1 #4 Share Posted January 1 The next cruise passengers want to embark, so they usually want you off by about 9:30. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted January 1 #5 Share Posted January 1 You have to be out of your cabin by 8 am. I dont see it as fun sitting on the ship somewhere just sitting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTO-Girl Posted January 1 #7 Share Posted January 1 They cannot board the next group until they have a zero count from your cruise. Get off the ship and find something else to do……please don’t be one of those people who holds up the next boarding… 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chairs left to sit on. Sat on window ledge. Usually we head to old san juan, check our luggage for free at Barrachina's, then wander around. Not sure why we didn't this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't post it to be shamed by "Be Kind / Don't be one that holds up the ship" ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG65CB Posted January 2 #13 Share Posted January 2 We usually take the RC excursion where they drop you in Old San Juan for a few hours and then they take you to meet up with your luggage to the airport ("Old San Juan on your own"). If you're not interested in hanging out in old San Juan they have a similar excursion that takes you to the rain forest and then to the airport.

Do they require you to eat in the restaurant or anything for them to store your bags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not required to eat and no charge to store luggage. Can pu taxi to airport on the corner 1/2 block from restaurant. Never a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamesEM Posted January 3 #19 Share Posted January 3 This past May I did the city tour and airport drop off to kill time, I had purchased a pass to the private airport lounge in advance, very pleased with the lounge experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick B Posted January 3 #20 Share Posted January 3 Hi, I will be on the Jewel this April for the TA. Leaving in the UK, I will fly out to Miami and stay in FL for 1 night before boarding. The ship docks in Southampton on a Saturday around 6am. We will be up around 7am for breakfast and get off around 0830 to allow us time to get to the train station for 10am for the first of our trains back home via London. We have to time things carefully so we can try to enjoy the last day of holiday as all the travelling takes its toll, so we don't want to feel rushed but have to allow time for any delays that may pop up without notice. We take our own cases off so can get off at anytime before 9am and normally find that by around 0800-0830 we are ready to get off anyway. Mick.
