Creator's Key Takeaways

This is what cruising is all about. I love it.

I love the solitude and the peacefulness and the nature and it's just my happy place.

Cruising is for everybody. You don't have to do all those things to enjoy it.

This is my favorite time of day just to take in peace and quiet, just enjoy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the local bus in Grand Cayman for a cheap and friendly alternative to excursions.
Use towel stations on CocoCay to avoid carrying towels on and off the island.
Ask about internet issues on the ship; they may provide a modem or router to fix it.
Use packing cubes to save space and keep luggage organized.
Put liquids in separate quart-sized bags for easier TSA screening.
