Creator's Key Takeaways

We did, uh, the Southern Caribbean, a Southern Caribbean week long itinerary last year on Virgin, January, February, and loved it so much, wanted to do it again this year.

It is a great spot right across from the port. Uh absolutely great spot. Um yeah, good four star four star option.

The chicken was really good. It was very well cooked. Very good. Tender, moist, good flavor, good sauce on it.

This is going to be busy, busy, busy, busy. But we are really excited about it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask Uber drivers for local restaurant recommendations to eat authentic food.
Stay at Hotel Rumbao for its proximity to the cruise port in San Juan.
Visit La Casita de Rones for cocktails and ask for bartender Jay.

YouTube Video Description

We enjoyed a day in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico before our Virgin Voyages cruise on Resilient Lady. We had another convenient stay at Hotel Rumbao just across from the cruise port in San Juan and enjoyed lunch at a new to us restaurant, Raices. Come with us to get coffee, do some shopping, wander a bit, and enjoy a few cocktails from La Casita de Rones. #oldsanjuan #sanjuan #puertorico #cruise #cruising #roomtour #hotelrumbao #Barrachina #piñacolada #pinacolada #travelvlog #travelinspiration #travel #traveling #traveltips #travelling #travelblogger #raíces #raices
