It was a fun, filling, and flavorful way to explore Old San Juan, all within walking distance of the cruiseport.

Everything we ordered was rich, flavorful, and absolutely worth the stop.

The combination of crispy pastry and delicious savory filling made this one of our favorite stops of the day.

YouTube Video Description

One of our favorite parts of cruising is stepping off our ship and enjoying some tasty, local food. And ports like San Juan, Puerto Rico are no exception. In this video, we’ll share the food tour we enjoyed when we docked in Historic Old San Juan, aboard the MSC Seascape, in April 2025. During our visit, we spent several hours exploring Old San Juan on foot, trying a variety of treats, sipping on some local drinks, and taking in the great waterfront views.
