Creator's Key Takeaways

we're James and Ellie and we'll be taking you along to some of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean giving you some helpful tips for your next Caribbean cruise

the Botanical Gardens have hanging Bridges which is worth the wait and the accus can get lengthy for it can be fun and you can get some great views of the surrounding areas and the gardens

Smuggler's Cove is absolutely bloody beautiful bit sketchy to get there but it's totally worth it

I'd recommend doing it how we did it definitely 100% so we saved a lot of money compared to the trip
