Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

While docked in San Juan, the creators explore local Puerto Rican delicacies and experience various amenities aboard the MSC World America. Their excursion begins with a visit to a local bakery to try a Mallorca, a fluffy powdered sugar pastry. Despite a sudden tropical downpour that forces them into a Starbucks, they continue their food tour by eating mofungo, a dish of mashed plantains and steak, at a local restaurant. They also visit the birthplace of the piΓ±a colada to sample a non-alcoholic version and find a small windowed shop selling limbers, which are frozen treats. After returning to the ship, they encounter a dining reservation mishap involving the specialty Italian restaurant, Italy, which they ultimately describe as a mediocre experience. The day concludes with a visit to the Jean Philippe chocolate shop, where they enjoy rich hot chocolate and various confections. The creators also observe a light show in the promenade and visit a pigeon park before the ship departs San Juan.
