Creator's Key Takeaways

It's beautiful. Puerto Rico is beautiful. I want to come stay out here.

Now that I think about it, $10 for that amount of rum and all that was good.

The food was outstanding. I will say the flavor was good, the texture was great, service was wonderful.

I would absolutely 10 out of 10 do it again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the bathroom before walking the entire passage to El Morro, as there are no restrooms along the way.
Try the original piña colada at Barrachina for $10.
Visit Bonsai Sushi on board Carnival Vista for good food.

YouTube Video Description

Day 5 aboard the Carnival Vista takes us to the vibrant streets of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico! We start our adventure with a traditional breakfast at Café Mallorca, then dive into Puerto Rican culture with a stop at Restaurante Raíces for their famous mofongo. Of course, no trip to San Juan is complete without the original piña colada at Barrachina! After fueling up, we explore the historic Castillo San Felipe del Morro (El Morro) — and let’s just say we underestimated that walk . Along the way, we stumble upon a lively pigeon-filled square, take in stunning ocean views, and soak up the charm of this colorful city. Back onboard the Carnival Vista, we wind down with cocktails at the Alchemy Bar, a delicious dinner at Bonsai Sushi, and finish the night enjoying a few of the ship’s incredible shows.
