What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

I think is one of the most beautiful beaches in St. Kits.

🥈ExpertAlex & Erika

Barcelona can easily become one of the highlights of your entire cruise.

🥈ExpertAlex & Erika

The food alone is worth the trip.

🥈ExpertAlex & Erika

In our experience, the southern Caribbean has the clearest water, more dramatic scenery, fewer overbuilt ports, and just a more exotic feel overall because of the geography.

🥈ExpertAlex & Erika

Out of all the beach clubs we visited throughout Mexico and the Caribbean, Cozumel is honestly right there at the top for overall value.

🥈ExpertAlex & Erika
The Watch-outs

we currently have a missing person so our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the missing person

🥈ExpertAlex & Erika

what I overheard when they were doing the medical evacuation was there was one individual that was like get them off the boat already so we can get back on track and continue with our vacation and I'm like dude shut up my heart just breaks what that family is probably going through right now

🥈ExpertAlex & Erika

Our kids love the candy store on a cruise ship and it's a total money waster.

🥈ExpertAlex & Erika

it just you know you hear something like that just just scares the [ __ ] out of you

🥈ExpertAlex & Erika

we just received notice from the captain that we're missing mikinos which is super disappointing cuz that was one of the ports I was looking forward to the most

🥈ExpertAlex & Erika

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Alex & Erika.

  1. Plan ahead to make the most of your day in St. Kitts.

  2. Consider a combination of an island tour and beach time for a balanced experience.

  3. Bring small bills for taxis and tips, as US dollars are widely accepted.

  4. Confirm taxi prices before your trip, as fares are fixed rather than metered.

  5. Purchase scenic railway tickets directly through the cruise line to secure availability.

  6. Arrive in Rome a couple of days early to adjust to the time change and avoid rush.

  7. Plan your first day around ancient Rome sites, which are close together.

  8. Explore the historic center on your second day, including the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain.
