Creator's Key Takeaways

Kartahena really made an impression on us, and we'd love to return one day and spend a few nights here to really take in the city properly.

Despite this, we all still loved Carter Henna and had a wonderful time here.

Our tour guide was fantastic though and made sure we still got around everything but it wasn't quite as planned which was a shame.

It was a shame that our tour ended up being so tight for time as we were rushed around the sites and didn't get the free time that we were supposed to enjoy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book excursions through the cruise line to guarantee first off and ship won't leave without you.
✓Bring US dollars as they are accepted almost everywhere; Colombian pesos may not be needed.
✓Plan for heat, especially with young kids, and consider free drinks or cool towels.
✓If venturing on your own, ensure you're back in plenty of time for all-aboard time.

Time management in port — Book guided tours to maximize time; Disney excursions guarantee ship won't leave without you.
Vendors and hassling at tourist sites — Be prepared for vendors; negotiate or be cautious with photo costs, as prices can be high.
Heat and young kids — Consider tours with sit-down breaks and free drinks; keep hydration in mind.
