Creator's Key Takeaways
I highly suggest picking a later arrival time.
We always try to throw a dollar or two per bag towards the port guys cuz they're carrying around my super heavy luggage.
Now, this port can house multiple cruise ships at a time. They are all in a row which can make for quite the congestion at times.
