Creator's Key Takeaways

As we pulled into port, I looked out and thought, h, this isn't as big as I thought it would be.

Gloriously uncrowded. Lounge chairs for days, hammocks with no weight times, and space to roam freely.

The water was absolutely beautiful. Postcard perfect, but the sand, it came with a side of shells and rocks.

It brought so much culture and gave a true authentic experience. It really elevated the day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring sunscreen or you'll be medium well by noon time.
✓Pack some beach shoes unless you want your feet to learn humility real quick.
✓Bring a water bottle with you.
✓Bring your credit card off the ship with you for any additional spending.
✓Bring your own playlist, but don't forget your headphones.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting lost — The layout is a big circle, so you can't get lost, but you can get looped into walking in circles.
Crowds — It was uncrowded with one ship, but be prepared for extreme crowding when four ships are ported.
Bees — Don't worry; during our visit, there were very few bees.
