Creator's Key Takeaways
San Juan is the home of the original OG pinina colada and there's two different bars that take claim for being the inventor
They're both really good. They're both much better than what I would get back home in the States
I'm going to crown one pin colada challenge. Victor, the champ, the heavyweight pin colada champion. I'm going to go with Baritino
This tour today of Old San Juan was incredible. It might have been your best yet

San Juan is one of the most popular cruise ports in the Caribbean, but what most people don't know is that two rival bars both claim to have invented the original piña colada. So naturally, we had to settle it ourselves. In this video, we’ll take you inside the battle for the “real” piña colada, explore San Juan’s rich history with our favorite tour guide, and show you how MSC World America added a few surprises of its own along the way. From Old San Juan’s hidden gems to Butcher’s Cut steakhouse and a sunset sea day that stole the show, this was one of the most memorable port days we’ve ever had. ----- 🌊 👣 Book Your Own CUSTOM Puerto Rican Tour Guide Adventure!
