What is the nearest hotel to stay in if you are leaving on the Carnival Victoria the next day?

We are flying into Puerto Rico in the morning and have a whole day to waste 8 p.m. what is the nearst hotel near the airport and would get me to Carnival Victoria dock in a short time.What is the nearest hotel to stay in if you are leaving on the Carnival Victoria the next day?
Sheraton Old San Juan. You can walk from the hotel to the cruise port across the street, and its a very nice hotel.What is the nearest hotel to stay in if you are leaving on the Carnival Victoria the next day?
Carnival has a ship named "Victory", but not "Victoria".



The Victory most likely docks in Old San Juan, so anything near there would be convenient. I suggest you go to CruiseCritic.com, click on "Boards", then go to the board for San Juan departures [can't remember what it's called, as I have no reason to look into those threads]. You'll find lots of reliable, recent info from experienced cruisers.



You won't have a "whole day to waste" [assuming you mean 8 pm departure]. You can board the ship early and leave your luggage in your cabin and then go back out and explore, or you can just enjoy the ship and its facilities [not the pools or casino, though] while it's in port until sail-away time. You may be able to board as early as 11:30 or so, though you may not be able to get into your cabin until 1:30 or so. But you can have lunch, learn your way around, etc.



From what I've read at CC, it's fairly easy to get hotel deals in OSJ on Priceline or Hotwire. We stayed at a very nice "boutique" hotel called the Coral Princess, just outside of OSJ. We weren't going on a cruise, but I don't think it was that far from the dock.What is the nearest hotel to stay in if you are leaving on the Carnival Victoria the next day?
The Carnival Victoria does not exist.
