I'll venture to say that the OP probably means flights from San Juan, Puerto Rico airport. It's the San Juan topic area after all. But yes, anything before 11 is a stretch. Some people have had luck with earlier flights but SJU can be a bit tricky depending on the airline and time of day. Winter (when NCL usually home ports ships in PR) is a busy flight season and you'll be docking they same day and time as Carnival's Fascination, at least. So there can be a small surge of passengers in the morning at the airport. When leaving from SJU you need to go through USDA inspection BEFORE going to any kiosk or airline counter. Usually ships arriving at 7am (like the Fascination, which I've sailed on) start the debarkation process around 8am. And that process can be delayed if the USCG doesn't clear the unloading of passengers in a timely manner. Go on the safe side an try to book outgoing flights after 11am.

Thanks! The last time I was in San Juan was 8years ago and I couldn't remember our flight out and time frame. I figured it was too close. The next flight isn't until 2pm so I'll probable switch the home airport and grab a 11:30 flight home. Thanks for the info!

We dock on Sunday at 7am (NCL). What would be the earliest flight you would book to head home? There is a direct flight that leaves at 9:15 which I think is pushing it too close?

We are in a suite and can priority disembark if that helps us any.

Its under my explore & plan tab in my NCL trip. I said in 42 days, these have been offered for a couple weeks now. Beach cabana is for 6 people and pool cabana is for 4.

Beach: $500

Pool: $250

I don't mind being tucked away in our own beach cabana... but we are social people and would want to be able to do some fun stuff for the day.

my listing shows the pool cabanas for 4 people... which is what's making the decision harder (since we would only need 1)

Hi all!

Trying to decide what to do for the day in port. We are in port all day (8-5). I'm trying to decide if the beach villa is worth the extra price over the pool villa. Is there more activity and fun going on at the pool? I have 2 kids (boys ages 16 and 12) who love the beach but the pool as well. While we love privacy and lounging beach/pool side, we also like some activity. Any feedback is appreciated!

Does anyone know if the executive level is worth it at the Hilton Riverside? It includes complimentary breakfast, evening hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Price difference is $70 from a standard 2 queen room to this room... family of 4, wondering if the breakfast option and evening snacks is worth the price difference.

Also, if we stay at Riverside and park the car in their lot, can we leave it the whole stay or will we be charged $40 a day? I'm planning on the Fulton Garage if they charge $40 a day.

Thanks!

Did he try any of the other beers? what about the beers in the english pub? Any restrictions?

He had a ton of beers. It was agreed that the asterisks seen in the menu (saying excluded from drink packages is old and meant for old drink package)... Only thing we came across excluded was the Fosters Oil Can and a couple premium beers (no idea the names). We never had 1 issue (aside from trying to find Guinness). He had a blast trying different stuff and having the dinner shot at night... Will buy again in the future!

Well I'm back! Ended up buying the drink package on board once we confirmed what was included. My husband (and 1 other family) literally drank all the Guinness on the ship. Included Johny Walker Gold and he paid the difference to have Johnny Walker Blue ($2.10 a glass). The package was WELL worth it for him to splurge and drink blue. That said... they ran out of blue on our 4th night and gold on the 7th night. Guinness was hit or miss and he would have to run to odd bars (like the night club when they opened) for a can. Would purchase again in the future, just wish there was better restocking.

Hey everyone! Set to sail on Friday and have been contemplating the drink packages. Does anyone know if Guinness is included in the Ultimate drink package? This is a big deciding factor so I hope someone has first hand experience.

Thanks!

Just reserved last night on Priceline for 1/1/10 (yeah, I procrastinated! lol)

4 stars starting bid $90.

Caribe Hilton accepted on first bid (now I kinda wish I started at $85!)

We stayed there 2yrs ago and really enjoyed ourselves. Having learned form experience (and reviews) we will be eating elsewhere and taking the bus into Old San Juan... if we make it past the beach and pool...

My first bid ever with Priceline and I'm hooked! To book this room on any hotel booking site would run $225!
