Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for Alex & Erika.
Plan ahead to make the most of your day in St. Kitts.
Consider a combination of an island tour and beach time for a balanced experience.
Bring small bills for taxis and tips, as US dollars are widely accepted.
Confirm taxi prices before your trip, as fares are fixed rather than metered.
Purchase scenic railway tickets directly through the cruise line to secure availability.
Arrive in Rome a couple of days early to adjust to the time change and avoid rush.
Plan your first day around ancient Rome sites, which are close together.
Explore the historic center on your second day, including the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain.
