Creator's Key Takeaways

I've just walked for all of 3 and2 minutes from the cruise port and it cost me $250 to get to the beach

if you're going anywhere in the Caribbean or especially 7 Mile Beach don't set up camp for the day where everyone else does just grab your stuff walk a little bit up the beach

never ever ever bring off a cruise ship is food the same way that you wouldn't fly internationally with food you can't do it on a cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

Walk away from the crowded beach area to find a quieter spot
Bring a towel, sunscreen, and water from the ship
Never bring food off the ship to avoid fines
Book dinner tables via the app for efficiency
