Total Wine and Bevarage in San Juan

[Sailor Gal]

Does anyone know of a place to stop on the way from the airport to the port to purchase beer, alcohol and wine? Is there a store or something like a Total Wine and Beverage store that a taxi could stop at and let us run in? THX:confused:

None that I know of. Sailed on Crown out of San Juan last March and brought a case of wine from home.

Pueblo Supermercado for the beer and wine, buy your liquor in the duty free store located inside the cruise terminal, they have the best prices in the whole Caribbean.

Do you know if they have Mic Ultra beer at Pueblos? I know I won't be able to get my diet Dr Pepper in san Juan, but would like to get my favorite beer.

Don't remember seeing Michelob Ultra but then again all i was looking for was Amstel Light, sorry.

Princess, in San Juan anyway, is very "relaxed" on bring booze on board. We did it in 2007.

Just put it in you checked luggage and you won't have a problem.

Don't get me wrong, we still buy lots and lots of buckets of beer on board!!! :D

interesting you would have that experience, we have only gotten busted for booze once and it was Celebrity out of San Juan. I have heard others say the same, out of San Juan the ships are more particular because of the duty free shop being right there.

San Juan is the most relaxed on booze of any past sailings of ours. We have always made our purchases and each time been cautioned by the cashier to put your liquor into a carry on bag (rather than the store bag) and have gone right through security with no problems.

 

We have even boarded, emptied a bag in our cabin and disembarked with an empty bag to go back to the liquor store to make more purchases with no problems.

well believe me, that day we did not and many others as well. They were checking our carryons before we even got to the ships door. They had a nice? gentleman from the ship just outside and he was taking everything from all of us...I will say, it has been the only time I have seen this, but they got a bunch of us that day...

Oh, I believe you Nita. What pier was Celebrity using? and was it the same terminal building that Princess uses?

 

That is strange that the process would be that different.

 

How recent was that experience?
