Creator's Key Takeaways

This ended up being one of the easiest and most relaxing port days of the trip.

The good part about the shops in St. Kits is, you know, I'm noticing that it's not all the same souvenirs one after the other.

I would say that most of the people at port were MSC passengers just because we were the only two ships there.

We are rearranging some of our travel plans for the year because of how amazing this was.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Keep your camera out of sight in shops to avoid being followed by employees.
Book the spa pass for a port day to get a discount and avoid crowds.
If you want to explore the port area, you can do so without booking an excursion.
