Welcome to my new vlog series on Virgin Voyages, Valiant Lady! This is my third time on Virgin, and this time I'm on a Southeastern Caribbean itinerary visiting several ports I've never been to before! But today is the day before the cruise, and I wake up bright and early to fly to San Juan, Puerto Rico! I arrive at my hotel (CasaBlanca Hotel) at noon but can't check in yet, so I spend several hours exploring the city and walking all the way around and up into the fort in Old San Juan. It was a HOT day, but beautiful sunny blue skies. I enjoyed two amazing meals, got a little bit of time to chill on the hotel rooftop and even discovered a speakeasy right in my hotel! I absolutely LOVED San Juan and can't wait to return, one day definitely wasn't enough, it's such a great place to explore - so walkable and everyone was very friendly! #cruise #virginvoyages #valiantlady #cruising #cruiseship #solocruise #solocruising #solotravel ---------------------------- Also follow me on: ⭐️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mer.cruises.solo?igsh=bDQ4Yzh6NnIwdjR5&utm_source=qr ⭐️ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mer.cruises.solo?_t=8iyjrVMz7ug&_r=1 ⭐️ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@mer.cruises.solo πŸ“§ Email: mer.cruises.solo@gmail.com ---------------------------- 🎬 Filmed with: πŸ“Έ Sony ZV-1F Camera πŸ“± iPhone 14 Pro Max
