MSC World America Took Us to San Juan… and into a Pina Colada Showdown

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!
