Creator's Key Takeaways

I personally think this right here, first come, first serve, is better than paying for the clamshells and other stuff.

It's an amazing place, guys. So, love this island.

The buffet is amazing. They got amazing food, fruits, salads, desserts, beverages.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the free first-come, first-serve area near the ship instead of paying for clamshells.
Visit the lighthouse for a great view of the ship.
Try the buffet at the Boho Buffet for a variety of food options.
