Puerto Rico's Governor announced plans to expand the cruise pier in Old San Juan to be able to handle cruise ships carrying 6,000 passengers.
The plan according to Alejandro Garcia Padilla will be able to accomodate Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas, which will visit San Juan in December 2014, with nine more visits scheduled for 2015.
The new pier expansion will cost $8.7 million and will extend the pier by 182 feet as well as build a new baggage inspection office.
Quantum of the Seas will be 167,000 tons and carry at least 4,180 passengers when she begins sailings in November 2014.
