Creator's Key Takeaways

We've sailed this itinerary many times.

Good news, you don't have to deal with tenders in this port. You can walk right off the ship.

The garlic shrimp cold beers are super reasonable and super delicious.

Walking along the Malikon for the sunset is a beautiful, beautiful thing to do in the afternoon.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Skip breakfast and hit Tostadas near the marina.
✓Take an Uber to Los Muertos Beach.
✓Use a chair at the beach; it's free.
✓Add a second clock on your phone for ship time.
✓Step outside the terminal for cheaper cabs.
