Creator's Key Takeaways

I've never seen it this quiet in over a decade! It was amazing to experience such a relaxed atmosphere in this usually bustling port.

We get a sneak peek at Windstar Cruises' newly refurbished Wind Surf, a stunning sailing ship that perfectly blends luxury with adventure.

I'm sat on the balcony and winds had their emergency announcements welcome on board announcement and you couldn't tell if it was a ship or that ship because it was so loud.

We're going to draw TOA this time with J van a few days ago um and we we have a day in the retreat book so that will be nice.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the retreat pricing for port days versus sea days.
Return to your suite and collect life gear if you hear the emergency alarm.
