Can someone let me know what the latest time you can board the ship out of San Juan if departure is 11:00 p.m.?

What is the earliest time you can board and then can you leave the ship to tour around for the day and into the evening?

Officially it is 1PM but they will start to board early if they have cleared all passengers and the vessel through customs and immigration. The first to get to the terminal are the first to embark as they cue people as they arrive. For our recent Regal cruise, we got to the PanAm terminal around 11AM and were one of the first to board ( were 1st on our deck to do so ). Too bad that there was problems with a new piece of Customs & Immig. equipment and this didn't happen until around 1PM. Just before noon we were told boarding would start in 5 or 10 minutes but then the equipment glitch happened.

I left the ship just after embarkating to return our rental car ( had it airport by 1:30PM )and to visit OSJ.

I heard that late arriving passengers had a muster drill the next day which was a sea day.

The official "all aboard" was at 10:30pm, 30 minutes prior to departure.

 

The muster was at 8pm.

Had also heard that due to us Brits arriving fairly late (we all get a special plane from UK laid on by Princess as part of our package) that we get to do Muster the next day...reckon we will be beyond exhaustion on the first day...:eek:
