Puerto Rican Family Feast

Leaving Jamaica, we sail east to our final island in the Greater Antilles. Puerto Rico is a popular vacation spot with more than 270 miles of beaches. The temperature is in the 70–80 degrees Fahrenheit range all year long. Its culture has been influenced by several others, including Spanish and African. Their cuisine uses many spices, making for very flavorful dishes. They highlight fresh foods in all of their meals. In Puerto Rico, the cuisine is known as cocina criolla, or “creole cuisine.” Locals are very friendly and hospitable.
