goldens4ever Posted March 18, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Of course, I would never buy anything to bring on the ship to consume while on the ship:cool:....but our last trip there was a duty free shop that had free samples and you could basically buy all kinds of alcohol for incredible prices.... So my question is....is this the situation with the pier that the Caribbean is using now.... Thanks for your help! Thanks colo cruiser.....yes San Juan!!!

Colo Cruiser Posted March 18, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 18, 2010 If you are asking about San Juan its the Pan American Pier. And the store is in the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhopal21 Posted March 18, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I don't know about Senor Frog's hours and haven't heard anything about Dengue in SJ. I do know that you won't beat the prices of the in terminal store anywhere else;) Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepers385 Posted March 18, 2010 #10 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Love leaving from San Juan and the duty free shop in the terminal is great too.:D Here's a small blip about the dengue fever http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35611852/ns/health-infectious_diseases/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytime53 Posted March 18, 2010 #11 Share Posted March 18, 2010 If you're looking for wine, the selection is extremely limited (just threw out the receipts yesterday, or I'd tell you the only 3 vintners). Anyway, one bottle was so bad (and it was actually a wine we sometimes drink at home, so we know what it is supposed to taste like) that we were going to return it and try to get our money back. By the time we got off the ship, though, we didn't feel like going through the line to get back in to the DF shop. Just remembered: Campo Viejo is the majority of your choices. Then there was one varietal of each of 2 other vintners. Shelves were mostly empty both weeks we were there, so maybe they carry more but were just out.

bhopal21 Posted March 18, 2010 #12 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Yes, the wine selection is very limited at the terminal store. I would recommend asking your taxi to stop at Pueblo (a large supermarket) where they have a wide variety of wines. Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldens4ever Posted March 22, 2010 Author #13 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks again for the info....we like wine....but they have a favorite of ours on board...so we will most likely be buying run and vodka. Do they have limes there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maraprince Posted March 23, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 23, 2010 My cousin bought some rum since it didn't have to be declared in her allowance if it was made in Puerto Rico. She bought a total of 6 bottles. Only negative, they put all 6 bottles loosely in one large box. She bought 2 boxes from our cabin steward for 75 cents each which made it much easier to carry off the ship. The bottles were delivered to our cabin the last day at sea as we were packing to leave. We are so spoiled by A.H. Rise in St. Thomas who packages everything so well that anyone else falls short. MARAPRINCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have limes there? Just call room service for limes after boarding. They are happy to oblige and brought me a bowl full sliced last month at no charge.

Leaves from Pan American Pier. We purchased two bottles of booze at duty free shop right next to ship check in, put in carry on luggage, and went through security with no questions or problems.

Colo Cruiser Posted March 24, 2010 #17 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Do they have limes there? Or stop at one of the bars and they will give you a glass full. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m steve Posted March 24, 2010 #18 Share Posted March 24, 2010 as well as at the airport. Prices are tax free, not DF but taxes are the biggest expense. You can bring back whatever you can carry from PR without affecting your DF allowance. A quirk in the law. Just watch the weight as baggage charges can offset any savings.

Nrknits Posted March 24, 2010 #20 Share Posted March 24, 2010 do the shops at the terminals carry mixers? I am specifically looking for diet rite zero. I can't use diet coke because of allergies to nutra sweet, but this uses splenda and has no caffine. Does anyone know if they have diet rite at the terminal or the grocery store in OSJ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wezie Posted March 24, 2010 #22 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Is this the same pier where Princess will be docking when it leaves out of NY? Just wondering if we will be able to make any purchases when we make our stop in San Juan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the CB hits SJ as a port call it may be the Old San Juan dock downtown. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
