Pro tip: Check the official parking instructions for your sailing before leaving home.
Other ways to reach the ship
Airport or hotel transferPassengers arriving without a car
CostConfirm a current fare with your chosen operator.
Arrange transport from Luis Muñoz Marín International (SJU) or your hotel to the terminal named on your cruise documents. Travel time varies with traffic and the distance is route-dependent; check a current route to your assigned pier.
Pro tip: Include time to collect bags and check the pickup location; a flight landing time is not a terminal arrival time.
Save the exact terminal address before setting out. A cruise parking entrance may be separate from the passenger curb. Send the arrival instructions to the driver and follow the signs for your ship once inside the port.
Compare the entire parking stay with both the outward and return transfer. Include the vehicle category, bags and any separately charged shuttle. For a one-way cruise, decide how the car will get home before buying parking.
Do not assume that an overnight hotel booking includes parking while you are at sea. Ask the hotel for permission covering the full trip, the total charge and the transfer arrangements before leaving a vehicle.
Keep identification, cruise documents, medication and valuables in your hand luggage. Save the pickup address for your return and keep the parking receipt accessible.
