Creator's Key Takeaways

The biggest mistake you can make when cruising the Caribbean is choosing a land America itinerary that skips this island.

If you stay on the ship because of the tender boat, you are committing the cardinal sin of cruising.

Once you step off the tender, your mission is simple. Get in the water.

This island is a paradise. But let's be honest, getting to paradise requires a little bit of pain.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pack drinks from the ship's buffet to avoid extra charges on the island.
βœ“Get in the water as your main priority once you step off the tender.
βœ“Plan for cash if shopping at small souvenir vendors.
βœ“Take the tender despite the inconvenience to experience the beach.
