Debarking the Fascination in San Juan

[rye_guy81]

Hello, just had a question about debarking the Fascination in San Juan, we are canadian so cannot use self assist, but just wondering how early we should be able to get off if we booked an early flight? I know we can request zone 1 tags to get off early just wondering if we would be off in time to make a 1130 flight to FLL I know we need to clear Food and Agriculture first before checking in but we do have TSA pre-check privileges. Thanks so much

You should be fine if you debark as soon as they allow it. Not sure how regularly they do it but they held up debarkation on both occasions that I debarked in San Juan for some kind of Coast Guard inspection. First group to leave the ship (Diamond, Platinum and Faster to the Fun) started to debark around 8am. There are taxis readily available when you leave the ship and the trip to the airport is about 20 minutes max. Even if everything doesn't go according to plan you still have some time to spare. Just be near an elevator for when they call for zone 1 debarkation.

I wouldn't worry too much about the Food/Agriculture scan. It only takes a few minutes. Just throw the bag on a scanner and wait for it on the other side.
