Exploring San Juan’s History and the Original Pina Coladas, Plus the Chocolate Surprise

Day 5 aboard Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam brought us to the beautiful and historic port of San Juan, Puerto Rico! 🏰 We started our adventure with a visit to Castillo San Felipe del Morro, immersing ourselves in the rich history and stunning views of this iconic fortress. Wandering through the vibrant streets of Old San Juan, we stopped for lunch at the birthplace of the Pina Colada to sip on the famous cocktail and enjoy delicious Puerto Rican cuisine.
Back aboard the ship, we dined in the Main Dining Room, where the food and service were not bad this evening. After dinner, we enjoyed a few laughs at the World Stage theater with a comedian, and capped off the evening with Holland America’s signature “Chocolate Surprise” event-front-row seats included! 🍫 Don’t miss this jam-packed day of history, flavors, and sweet treats.

Love PR. Spent a month there a few years ago

[@m2seacrew]

We would love to go back for an extended trip.

[@cruisinkoozies]

We flew into San Juan to cruise on the old Carnival Fascination,we took a bus around the city before we left. We didn’t get to see the umbrella because they had protests going on and they had a long flag hinging instead of the umbrellas.

[@m2seacrew]

We can't wait to go back and explore some more.

[@scottsmith9201]

Really enjoying these vlogs! This is about the same itinerary we're doing in September. I'd like to visit the Pina Colada place, but I don't drink them (coconut). Thanks for posting!

[@m2seacrew]

Barranchina Restaurant was worth the trip just for the food. Have fun!

[@CheriAwesomeSunsetsTravel]

We wanted to go to that fort so bad! But now I’m glad we didn’t because it was pouring down rain that day! ☔️⛈️☔️⛈️

[@m2seacrew]

We had some rain, but it wasn't too bad.

[@jimbsjaunts5352]

The walk to the fort looked too much so I viewed from afar

[@m2seacrew]

It was a hike, but we enjoyed it.

[@NeverGiveUp-cc3vb]

Is in good condition thanks for the US Government. Otherwise would be in ruins.

[@m2seacrew]

It's certainly cool that it's been maintained over all of these years.
