Where did you get the information that it's docking at Pan American? That only happens if there are no berths available in OSJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapie Posted May 10 #5 Share Posted May 10 On an NCL cruise we docked at the Pan American terminal for a day stop. There were shuttles from the port to old town, $15 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted May 10 #6 Share Posted May 10 I would be very surprised if you docked at the Pan American pier. I would anticipate being in Old San Juan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone The source I normally use, cruisetimetables.com, doesn't identify whether ships are docking in OSJ or at Pan American. I also did a quick check of two others, crew-center.com and cruisemapper.com and off hand I didn't see that information on those sites either. It would be helpful to anyone interested in this type of information if you identify the website(s) that have this information. Perhaps I'm just overlooking something .

Well, tell that to the folks on the Prima that stopped there on April 23rd from St. Thomas. Who knows, maybe it's dependent upon traffic and berth availability on each specific day?

Who knows, maybe it's dependent upon traffic and berth availability on each specific day? In my experience the only time that cruise lines, including NCL, use Pan American for a port call is when there are more ships in port than can be accommodated in OSJ. Every cruise I've taken making a port call in San Juan did so at OSJ and every cruise I've taken embarking in San Juan has done so at Pan American. Based on the information I could find, there were three ships in port on April 23. I believe only one of Muelle (Pier) 3 or 4 is in use in OSJ at present so two ships docked there and one, the Prima, at Pan American.

beauty1492 Posted May 26 Author #15 Share Posted May 26 We did dock OSJ. Spoke to shore tours desk, they said got special permission. We were definitely scheduled for Pan American Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were definitely scheduled for Pan American Thanks for answering. I hope you enjoyed your cruise. The shore excursion desk gave you a typical laughable BS lie. The only time NCL uses Pan American for a port call is if there's no docking space available in OSJ. You were never scheduled for Pan American because you were the only ship in port that day.
