Unless your air is set up by the cruiseline, I would not leave earlier than 1. Even when we were getting off Adventure of the Seas (the biggest ship in San Juan right now), debarking the ship was pretty organized, and we were off the ship around 10.

The problems happen either if weather delays you getting into port or the transportation from the ship. The airport is close to the Panamerican pier and not that far from the piers in Old San Juan, and once you are on the road, things are fine. But finding the right bus or right driver - ay caramba!!!

The airport is not that big, but there can be lots of delays there too. It's my impression that everyone goes to lunch just before all the passengers show up for the large flights to the mainland.
