San Juan Puerto Rico Is Our Favorite Cruise Port So Far! ❤️ [Symphony of the Seas Vlog 6]

[@SirJamesIGamerfuzion]

The beginning I was thinking of Home Alone with the Bird lady

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha I was thinking the same thing when we were there

[@oliviaw5132]

That's exactly what I immediately thought too! Love it!

[@ArielEBaez]

Glad you liked Puerto Rico! As a puertorican myself I can confirm you went to the best places! Lol! You guys rock! 💪🏻

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yay

[@thedogsleeps]

That mofongo looked soooooo amazing! Must have!

[@Newyosemitehomestead]

This is my favorite episode of the series. I miss visiting family there.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

😁 this was our favorite day of the trip too

[@gusifer3230]

In the U.K. ( well the north east where I’m from) we call Limbers, ice cups. They were always a treat as a child in the summer, usually home made. They were better than ice pops as you got more and we used to have them made with cola, lemonade or cherryade!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Oh interesting

[@gabrielescalante9351]

Hiiii, I love your channel, im from Puerto Rico and im really happy to see you enjoying our island so much. Pro-tip to find the best mallorcas a local panaderia(bakery) would be the best place. The family selling limbers are the nicest people, thank you for supporting them.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We’ll have to check it out next time

[@davidclaudio2473]

@@OrdinaryAdventures you kept mentioning shaved ice that is a different treat called Piragua. That’s shaved ice with syrup. Limbre is a frozen treat with juices of the fruit I think.

[@gabrielescalante9351]

@@OrdinaryAdventures I really recommend piraguas (shaved ice with syrup). If you guys are coming back to stay for a week or so I highly recommend leaving the Metropolitan area to visit el Yunque(our Rainforest) and visit the beaches of Luquillo and Fajardo.

[@rfoley007]

Where did you find the Limbers place?

[@davidclaudio2473]

@@gabrielescalante9351 yes there is so much more to do and see outside of San Juan and old San Juan.

[@shaelan]

If you're looking to actually spend time in San Juan, there's a hotel next door to the El San Juan that's a little dated, but it's reasonable and clean. The ESJ Towers. We've stayed there a couple times. The beaches are all public in Puerto Rico, so if you want to go to the beach, it doesn't matter where you stay, you can always get to the beach. But the ESJ Towers were always nice and accommodating and very very very reasonable. It's in the touristy area of town, not near old San Juan where a lot of the good local stuff is, but it's easy to get to there, and there's a lot of nice local places near those hotels. The last time we were there, El Castillo was worth the stop too.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks for the info

[@thesquaredart]

Thank you for visiting! It makes me so happy to know you loved your time here! I live on the Southeast coast of the island (about an hour from there) but I love going to San Juan and whenever I'm there I have a hard time trying not to pet all the cats...

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

The cats are everywhere

[@christina413]

Hi! Thanks for sharing your visit with us! I love your video, so cheerful and well edited! I grew up in Old San Juan and I do love the architecture as well; tropical during the day and magical at night ✨ The limbers 🍧 person is THE BEST!! My favorite is the coco 🥥 flavor 😝 Also I am so surprised to see 🥰 local crafts of my favorite shop in your video at 22:04! The shop is Puerto Rican Art & Crafts 🧡 on Fortaleza St…. I actually have the jíbaro man roasting the pig 🐷 and use it as part of my xmas decor (since it’s very big in our culture) ❣️ Hopefully on your next trip back the mallorcas will be available 🤍💛🤍 they are soo yummy and definitely worth the try.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I want to try the coco flavor next time.

[@karimsierra8110]

We love your video,thanks from all puertorricans.You will always be welcomed in our Island.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yay we will be back for sure

[@orangemonkeyboxers]

Guuuuuuurl, thank you for including some sweet Latin beats!!! 💃💃💃 I think Puerto Rico has been my favorite so far as well of the cruise destinations. Thanks for sharing this cruise with us. Especially loving it because I'll probably never go on one. Hehehe 💗

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much BB-B33P. Why would you never go?

[@orangemonkeyboxers]

@@OrdinaryAdventures I'm terrified of the open water. Lol I'm almost certain it has something to do with almost drowning as a kid. Also, knowing about the fish/creatures that swim below in the twilight zone and midnight zone. 😝

[@jerrykarn1801]

Our cruise stopped in San Juan on June 8th. We followed your advice and went to Raíces for Mofongo & Mojito's. They were both excellent and the service outstanding! We will be going back next time we're in San Juan. Thanks for such great advice! Continue the great work we love what your doing!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yay! Glad you enjoyed them as much as we did

[@dannil9106]

OMG!!! all the pigeons on Kitra are soooo cuteee!

Been to San Juan a couple of times. First time we did the tour bus..great for the history buffs. Last time we went in Jan. of 2020 with very good friends, and we both ended up buying rings for our wives..Life Is Short-Enjoy!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Such an amazing place

[@TatiiNichole02]

Thank you for loving our island. You guys should come back and visit different places around the island, you will love it!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We’d love to someday

A traditional mojito is indeed Lime juice, cane syrup, rum, mint, and topped with soda! :)

And just like that, Kitra kicked in the pre-holiday season with a reenactment of Home Alone 2. 😀

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha

[@CMGin]

Omg this made me so happy/proud/homesick. I’m a born and raised puertorican living in Denmark and I haven’t been able to visit home in almost 10 years. I’m so happy you enjoyed yourselves Puerto Rico is definitely a special place. 🌴🧡

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Very special

[@Noname-ml6fd]

I enjoyed your video so much. By the way, the piña colada hails from San Juan, Puerto Rico where it was created by bartender Ramón “Monchito” Marrero at the Caribe Hilton in 1954. The pigeons segment was so funny and joyous to watch. ❤❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks for the info!

[@chitchatpaddiwack5638]

The people of PR are super friendly, as well. We stopped there on a cruise too and it was wonderful.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🥰🥰🥰

[@NykMarie]

You guys are adorable! I’m headed to PR in a few days and this really helped.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Have a great time!!

[@jonram7593]

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

😁

[@GiraffeLoverJen]

I love how you tell the birds that "we're all done" but the bird on your head is like "not so fast lady, I'm not done yet!" The pigeon park looked so fun. It's super nice that they spray your hands & give you a wipe after too.

[@HJ-vj3uv]

We really enjoyed this episode. We've been to old San Juan several times and enjoyed seeing you discover many of the same places that we've visited -- both pigeon parks, the Red Gate, both pigeon parks and Barrachina's fabulous pina coladas! You introduced us to a couple of new things, too. We look forward to trying the mofongo at Raices. I like that you pointed out the blue cobblestone streets, which have an interesting history. The Spanish used the stones as ballast on their ships and dumped the stone in San Juan to fill up the ships with gold.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Oh very interesting

[@AnelasFootsteps]

The sights were amazing! Its okay you guys did not get alot your food list done; it was great to see more of the landscape and beauty of Puerto Rico. Love it!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks Anela

China does mean orange instead of naranja there in Puerto Rico. That brought back some school age memories. Cool to see the narrow streets again, but it's waaaaay less busy than my memory. Hopefully more tourism can help there as long as everyone coming in is responsible. Need the local healthcare to stay stable.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Oh good to know

Loved San Juan. Went there back in March for my birthday. Lol the limber looks like what I grew up on. We called them Icee Cups lol. And did you guys see the naughty dessert place, I forgot the name but that had private area shaped dessert lol

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We didn’t see that 😂

[@DeanNGretchen]

The Pina Colada’s looked more like a smoothie than how it is done stateside. So surprised how many stray cats were around there. So awesome people leaving food and water. Now time to go feed our Cats some Fruit loops now.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Apparently there is a non profit organization in the area that takes care of the cats

Ah okay thanks for the info

[@Lealelan]

Have loved your videos. My daughter and I are booked on this same trip (Symphony of the seas as well) in early March. I've heard there are two places where cruise ships come in, and one is further than the other. It looks from your pics like you were able to walk right to old town. Do you know if this is the typical place for RC to come in? We're wanting just to walk the town as you did and hit some of the establishments you do here. Thank you so much for your great vlogs! And p.ss learned about Royal Up cuz of you and we just got upgraded to a suite - yay!!!
