I also had difficulty. I purchased my July 19th ticket the morning the tickets were available and English was not available. I purchased the Spanish tour at 1045 because all earlier tours were sold out. So frustrating that they sell out only hours of being available.

Thank you

Following. My trip is in July

Thank you. We will be sailing in August

I'm also doing that tour at 1345. I was also very concerned about the train so we hire a private car with 2 other people. Train will be crowded and our ship will have thousands of people trying to return to the ship. Depends on the amount of stress you can tolerate. I'm not going to risk the train

Thanks for all the advice

We recently stayed at the hyatt house which was very very nice.

We used uber to get from airport to hotel and hotel to port.

Port is only 5 minutes ride from hotel.

I am currently planning a couples vacation with my wife and my brother and his wife. We are currently booked on RCCL in December, but plan on flying in the day before. I have scoured the web for places to stay, things to do, and ways to travel to each place. I think I have lost most of my hair and am going cross-eyed from researching this, so I am reaching out for help.

 

1st- I have currently booked a room/s at the Marriot Isla Verde for our pre-cruise hotel. Good, bad, indifferent on this hotel? Is the airport an issue? Seems like a good location to the airport and the beach, but not sure about the location for activities beyond the beach.

 

2nd- What is the best way to get from the airport to the hotel, whether the Marriot or another one? Taxi, private shuttle or car service? What is the approximate costs for a Taxi to the Marriot for 4 people?

 

3rd- What is the best way to get to the Pan American Pier?

 

4th- Best activities to do in San Juan for a half day adventure without breaking the bank?

 

Please help if you can. Looking for any advice. I can not afford to lose anymore hair, a burnt scalp will not make for a fun vacation.:(

 

Thank you for all your help.

Sorry to hear. We were there for spring break and had no issue around 11 am at the port

Embarkation

 

We recently sailed on the Adventure of the Seas out ofPuerto Rico. Had a great time on theship but was very disappointed at the process to get on the ship.

 

We stayed overnight at a hotel on Friday night and took ataxi to the port around 11:00am. When wegot there we were told to stand in a long line with our luggage (not thecarry-on). Now having been on many RCCL cruises in thepast, luggage is always taken as soon as you arrive by the porters. Everyone was very confused by what washappening, no good signage anywhere, and not real definitive “line”. Also there were no RCCL representativesaround to help out, only the porters. Theline was facing the port check in. We waited about 20 minutes and then they reversedthe line away from the port check to the other end.

 

This must be a common occurrence because now there arevendors selling water and Italian ice.

 

Now remember more people are getting dropped off as we waitwith no direction. They start takingbags at the back but by this time there are two lines trying to merge intoone. Another 30 minutes waiting in thatline to give them our luggage.

 

Finally complete weenter the port, go through the metal detector, and get our sea pass cards.

 

I hate to say this as I love the itinerary, it will be along time before I sail out of Puerto Rico again.

For about 100 euros each we had prearranged for a car and driver to take us to Provence. Saw Avignon and Arles with lunch at a stand in Les Baux.

From who did you prearrange a car from?

Did his tour two weeks ago Absolutely great!!!

The lunch was good. Did include chips and fruit. All you can drink and plenty of it.

Tour was hosted by CAPT Bob's son

Was this on Vision?

No, it was adventure of the seas

I am traveling with my 17 year old on Symphony of the seas on July 15. Although I am not solo, I feel like I am because she always makes friends and I never see her.

Would love to meet fellow travelers on this cruise

just traveled on RC. They had shampoo/conditioner dispenser and soap. Glad I brought my own

I just traveled on RC with my 17 year old with her birth certificate and drivers licence
