What time can you board the Serenade in San Juan?

[FCOWHER]

DW and I are flying into San Juan on December 30, 2005 and I was just wondering how early we can get on the Serenade on the 31st. We are travelling with 16 family members and will want to get our New Years partying started as soon as possible. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Joe V.

Don't know what time you leave port, but we boarded shortly after 1 pm and felt like we got a whole extra day. If you call the "official" line, you will be told about 6 (for a 10 pm depart). Go early, they kick the other cruise off by 9:30 am.

 

have a blast we did.\

IF (and there's always that "if") there are no problems with US Customs when debarking passengers and crew from the previous week, noon is a good call. Your cabin may not be ready until 1pm, but you can go to the Windjammer for lunch, and then explore the ship at your leisure.

we are on the same cruise as you are. so far it is only the 2 the last cruise we took was with our family so we decided this time just us

i think we can board as early as 12 noon

where are you staying dec 30

[FCOWHER]

Morty, we are staying at the Radisson Hotel and Casino. There are 17 of us right now. My family has not gone together on a cruise in 5 years, so we are really looking forward to this cruise. I think that New Years is a great way to enjoy our first night in the ship and will make sail away that much more exciting. Look forward to seeing you on the Serenade. Joe V.

We boarded around 11:30 am last year- it was like an extra day!!! No lines and really smooth when you go early!

it was a choice between the two dates for us we thought the dec 31 would be a little easier for us

i check the rccl website to see if the prices have gone down and see there seem to be a lot of room still available

i will check out the caribe

and thanks for rushing everyone off the ship

Can be as early as 11 AM - but would count on noon. I agree that it feels like an extra day - just remember that you may not access to your cabin for some time (usually they are done by 1-2 PM) - so pack your carry-on accordingly!

Cruzo, you can take your time getting off of the Serenade. I think we will be starting off the festivities at Senor Frogs around noon. So please take your time, enjoy your last day of vacation and perhaps we will pass somewhere on San Juan. Joe V.
