Creator's Key Takeaways

What a fabulous trip that was. If a half day boat trip is your kind of thing, this one was perfect.

I'm devastated to be leaving Arvia tomorrow. Um I am sad at the end of any cruise.

We had a short experience this morning with our catamaran trip, which was so much fun.

And the lunch was delicious, too.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring your blue towel off the ship because they don't provide towels on the catamaran.

✓If you're not a strong swimmer, let the crew know and they can help you.

✓There's a list of flight times at Maho Beach, so you can come for a specific flight.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not knowing what to expect on a catamaran trip — It's a nice compromise; you can do a half-day trip to get back to the ship facilities.

Worrying about being a strong swimmer on the snorkeling stop — The crew provides pool noodles and can help if you're not a strong swimmer.
