Scenario - You arrive in San Juan a day ahead of time, perhaps in the evening, stay at your hotel overnight, have breakfast the next morning and then still have ALL day pretty much til you have to get to the ship. The itinerary from RCCL says boarding is not before 2pm.
What do you do with your luggage til you take a taxi to the Pan American Pier for boarding?
a. Take a taxi from the hotel to downtown San Juan and leave the bags at Barrachina perhaps? (Looks like a nice restaurant. . .you could have lunch and leave the bags maybe)
b. Take a taxi from the hotel in the morning to the Pier and leave the bags there; and then go back into San Juan to visit the fort, or shop or possibly that Countryside Tour.
c. Go to the ship really early. A few messages here state/imply that you can actually get to the ship as early as 11AM; leave bags, and go back to San Juan for the whole day. Then return later, avoiding the lines at the ship.
This is driving me nuts! I understand that San Juan is pretty safe during the day, especially around the tourist areas. . .but not at night. We certainly don't want to be carrying luggage around during the day. We probably look like tourists enough already, but why have a sign on your back saying" Rob me! All my stuff is right here in my luggage!" Am I too paranoid? I assume that staying with a group should be better overall, if you can.
