Creator's Key Takeaways

so you're not getting ripped off so let's get off the ship and do this right now

the best way okay so once you've walked down the pier behind us this is the actual Port area that you walk into

don't take the very first beach chair umbrella you're going to get offered they are super expensive

we're going to actually walk just a little bit further that way we can get a better deal on this

Creator's Tips & Advice

Buy water taxi tickets at the yellow huts for $7 per person, cash only.
Avoid the first beach chair offers; walk further to Lizzy's for a $10 deal including chairs, rum punches, and Wi-Fi.
Use the water taxi to get back to the ship; it's a short walk from Lizzy's.
