Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm currently on board Holland America's Rotterdam which is their newest Flagship for a 21 night cruise all around the Caribbean

I set my alarm really really early a few days ago to get up and book my tickets which I'll tell you a little bit more about later it's cost me $130 us so I'm hoping this is going to be pretty spectacular

this island is absolutely stunning it is so well looked after so well manicured and there's not a single thing out of place in anywhere very very good first impressions

Creator's Tips & Advice

Set your alarm early to book tickets for Renaissance Island as they sell out quickly
Bring quarters for flamingo food dispensers
Take your daily schedule off the ship to avoid panic about all aboard time
Wear sun cream and insect repellent for tropical climates
Explore the entire island beyond just the flamingo beach
