Royal Caribbean, March 3, 2018

Is anyone concerned that there will be a lack of hotel rooms prior to cruising in March 2018 in Puerto Rico?

Thank y

Would depend on recovery efforts. Most are optimistic that many hotels will be available for guests. On some threads. Some are already accepting guests.

You will get a better idea in a month or so. I would imagine that things will improve.

I wouldn’t worry. I’m heading there on 12/9 for a 12/10 cruise on Jewel of the Seas. I’ve spoken to the folks at my hotel a bunch of times (fb and phone). They’re open and operating without issue. Check out Hotel Miramar. They have 4.5 / 5 stars on TripAdvisor and over 800 reviews. Book through Expedia and breakfast is included. It’s a nice boutique hotel.

I am sure people are a bit worried about this but hopefully with each passing month things will continue to improve.

If there is a hotel that you are interested in staying at, call them directly and ask about their situation. Don't call their 800 number.

I've heard Old San Juan is pretty much up & running However I agree u need to call hotels directly because we checked several & either full or not up

& running They too rely a lot on tourism So I'm sure it won't be long !!Cruiseport ok & airport also

You hit it on the head. We had two reservations cancelled on us. Both Sheraton Old San Juan and Hyatt House - because FEMA approved both as transitional housing for displaced citizens as well as housing for aid workers.

I called Sheraton and Hyatt weekly to confirm because I couldn’t reach the hotels directly. The 800 numbers for both told me not to worry and that I would be fine. Nope! I found out my Sheraton reservation was cancelled when I finally got through directly. The person I spoke to at the Sheraton was surprised that I was surprised - they told me the corporate line was clearly wrong. I wasn’t mad. I had a back up in the Hyatt. Whoops! I then spent a bit of time on the phone calling hotels directly. Expedia CS help a lot too. They did a stellar job in getting me a list of confirmed opened hotels that were accepting reservations (call them instead of looking at their site).

To OP: Just call them directly. Booking a hotel for a trip in March shouldn’t be as challenging as I’ve seen for my trip in December. You’ll be ok. :-) Your vacation drinks are not far down the road.

Check out Hotel Miramar for anyone that needs a place to stay. I can’t talk them up enough. They’ve been wonderful to me with contact and updates.
