Jeff Poulson Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hi Guys....Ive searched quite a bit and can't seem to find a recent answer as to which pier the Freedom departs from in San Juan, PR. We will be sailing in Aug of this year and I'm trying to decide on a hotel the night before sailing that is reasonably close to the pier we'll be leaving from. Any help would be appreciated!!! *I did find a post by Matt stating that the RC ships based in San Juan use the Pan America pier, but that was in 2015 and I wondered if that was still the case.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okgladgal Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Yes, Freedom still departs from Pan American Pier. Jeff Poulson, Ogilthorpe and coneyraven 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisM Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 It is across the street from the Convention Center and the Sheraton. Jeff Poulson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinUpinLife Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Are you trying to stay close to the pier to walk to it? I HIGHLY DO NOT recommend you do that. The pier is a long road without much walking area off of it. Plan to take a taxi/uber. Condado and OSJ are close and offer a short ride to the Pan American Pier where Freedom embarks from. RCCL cruises that depart from San Juan use the Pan American Pier that is NOT in Old San Juan. RCCL ships that are coming for a port stop use the pier in Old San Juan. This was true on 1/5/2020 when I took a FOTS sailing from San Juan, PR. Hope this helps! Have a great time!

No, I have no desire to drag all the luggage on foot!!! LOL!!! Just wanted to be reasonably close, so as to avoid a long taxi ride. Thank you for the information!!
