peytonhead Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 For those who have sailed out of Puerto Rico recently, what have you done to make the process easier (healthy sail stuff, antigen testing ect)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshvc Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 We sail Sunday, so I don't have the experience yet, but our plan is this: Already loaded passports & vax cards in the app. Friday morning COVID antigen tests near home Print out negative test results- I've read here that shuffling back & forth betweeen the Royal app and your test results on your phone is a pain Friday afternoon flight to San Juan. Have to fill out Puerto Rico's TravelSafe questionnaire on the way, probably in the airport. Saturday, fill out Royal's healthy sail questions in the app, then just a tourist day in San Juan, will pick up some wine to carry onto the ship Sunday we'll leave the hotel about an hour before our check-in appointment, hoping we can get in a little early but not standing around for too long if we can't. I'll try to report back Monday or so with how things went. peytonhead, Kimi and KristiZ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what we did, but you will not be able to board early. Royal is really enforcing the check in times at all ports. We arrived at the port about 15 minutes before our check in time, dropped off our luggage with the porters and breezed right in. Any earlier than that you will be standing around waiting. We stayed at the Sheraton in Old San Juan and much like the rest of the island, it's a quick ride to get to the port. There were many people who where way too early for thier time and it causes a lot of confusion with the lines and getting people through. We like to board as early as possible, so keep checking for an earlier check in time. joshvc and peytonhead 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the earliest check in Times for San Juan 1:00 to 1:30? 4 hours ago, joshvc said: Oh this is really good to know, thanks- hadn't seen a report from San Juan on the timing topic, we'll head over closer to the time then. Please report back to this thread, even if you do a new thread on your trip with a reference to that info. I am not find a lot of info on the San Juan sailings yet.

steverk Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Went on a Thanksgiving cruise. It was great and I'm sure you'll have a good time. I concur with Reigert2008 on printing everything. Also fly in the day before. One last thing. San Juan was the only port I've been to that wasn't enforcing boarding times.
