erinbee0000 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Does anyone know if you can get on the ship and then get back off in San Juan since the embarkation time is later in the evening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtd Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I was wondering the same thing. Ship leaves at 8:30pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny260 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yes, check in, get your sea pass card, board the ship, and then you can get back off. Ask the workers, there may be a time frame as to when you can get off just simply because of the limitations of having enough security. I would get on, maybe eat lunch and then get back off.

erinbee0000 Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I heard that Royal does not dock in the same location as Carnival. Do you know if there is anything around the Royal area? Carnival docks in Old San Juan so you can explore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royal dock (Panamerican Pier) is within site of Old San Juan and the normal cruise docks (across the channel). It is about a 10 minute cab ride when there is little traffic. Probably a good bit more with ship traffic. I'd still make the investment in time to see Old San Juan if you have time. There isn't really anything near the Royal docks except a Sheraton. It's not called the "Nothing to Do Sheraton" by the locals for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsTryThisPlace Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 I never knew there were multiple piers. When we were there on Freedom we docked right near Old San Juan with many other ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantix2000 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 When a Royal cruise stops at San Juan for the day they use the docks nearer to Old San Juan. It's the cruises that start/end in San Juan that use the Panamerican Pier across the harbor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
