fegan01970 Posted March 27, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hi everyone - We are flying into San Juan in the late morning for our departure on the AOS on 4/12. I heard about all these fabulous shops we want to try to hit. I am curious as to if we are able to check in our luggage at the boat and then head to do some shopping before we embark. Has anyone ever done this before? If we can't do that, are there any options to store our luggage? Thanks so much! Colleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue L Posted March 27, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2008 My daughter just did the AOS two weeks ago and they went over to the ship checked in, had lunch and then took a taxi to Old San Juan where the Coach outlet is. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrp96 Posted March 27, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2008 If you want to save some time and hit the shops immediately, instead of heading to the ship from the airport, head to OSJ. There is a restaurant in OSJ, Barrachina's, where you can store your luggage for free. Take a taxi from the airport, drop off your bags there, do your shopping, head back and pick up your bags, grab a taxi to the ship and then you don't have to worry about leaving the ship again (also saves one taxi fare).

fegan01970 Posted March 27, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Oooh, good advice. What kind of restaurant is Barrachina's? How close is OSJ to the cruise terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwolfe Posted March 27, 2008 #7 Share Posted March 27, 2008 OSJ is across the bay from International Pier (Cruise terminal) When OSJ is a mid-point port in a cruise you actually dock at OSJ. You'll still be able to see your ship from OSJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fegan01970 Posted March 27, 2008 Author #8 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Can we walk to OSJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted March 27, 2008 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Can we walk to OSJ? From the Pan Am Pier, it's not really walking distance but I've seen posts where it can be done. The Pan Am Pier is about a 15 minute taxi ride from OSJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted March 27, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Barrachino's is an option, and is a nice little restaurant, but honestly, I would go drop it off at the ship and then go into town. then you don't have to remember where the restaurant is, drag your luggage in there and out and you won't have to deal with it. We have dropped our luggage at the pier very early with no issues. If you want to go into town right away, your cab will probably wait for you while you drop the luggage at the pier and then continue on to take you into town. Then you can enjoy at your leisure before heading back to the ship. Enjoy, we love OSJ!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
