Creator's Key Takeaways

We don't leave until 1000 p.m. And then I have never left the port that late before.

The food was mid. It was super average main dining room food. Nothing to write home about.

Cooa del Capitano is better when you have to pay for it. Cuz that meal was really, really good.

We're exploring. We're figuring things out. And let's add on top of that that we got in at 2:00 p.m. is that a lot of places close.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring cash for tipping in Bonaire as some places may not have a credit card tip option.
โœ“Get to Linda's Dutch Pancakes early as it is popular and taxi wait times can be 20-30 minutes.
โœ“Consider a self-excursion in Bonaire as many tours sell out, but be prepared for places closing early.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not knowing local customs or tipping culture โ€” Assume tipping is appreciated and bring cash to be safe, as seen in Bonaire.
Places closing early due to late port arrival โ€” Plan accordingly and be flexible, as some attractions may close before you arrive.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We explore Aruba and Bonaire during our Carnival Vista Cruise. It was our first time visiting both ports while on our way to Celebration Key. We get to walk around, try new foods, and we even get lost along the way. We meet up with friends for some savory and sweet Dutch pancakes and end our night with one of our favorite Carnival restaurants, Cocina Del Capitano. We'll see if paying for Cocina is better than the free version from the Jubilee.
