We live outside of Houghton. Summer is a great time in the U.P.! Definitely looking forward to summer this year, it's been a long winter, we've had over 250" of snow so far this year with another 8-10 expected tmrw and Wednesday. Being on the Valor was a nice break from the weather.

If you have time definitely explore Old San Juan, it's a great place!

Might need to cheer for MSU and Coach Izzo since he's a fellow Yooper!

Hello fellow Michigander!

My husband and I were just on the February 23rd sailing on the Valor out of San Juan. We spent a couple of days in Old San Juan prior to the cruise. If you're into microbrews as we are, then Cafe San Sebastián (was called La Taberna Lupulo) on Calle San Sebastián is a place not to miss. They have around 50 beers on tap with 2-3x's that in bottles. When we were there they had a couple of Bells and Founders on their tap list! My husband believes you can buy bottles from them "to go".

We did not have FTTF, but we were on the boat having lunch around 12:30. Our room was ready by 1, so we dropped our stuff off, got off of the boat and hiked it back up the hill to Cafe San Sebastián again. When we initially got on the boat and again later on in the early evening, we had beer and Gasolinas in our carry-on and went through security without difficulties. We just brought everything right to our room.

Have a great cruise! We do like "Go Blue", but our daughter graduated from MSU so sometimes we have to say "Go Green" as well!:)
