Creator's Key Takeaways

the mgin Bay Beach getaway excursion was really just a shuttle ride to the beach there were no meals provided or beach chairs or any other Frills but it did the job eventually

we were getting hungry so we flagged down a server to order lunch from the kitchen delivered right to our seats they look delicious suspicious the flavors are all really good

we'd happily go back to St Martin and the Morgan Resort it cost a little little more than our St Thomas day but this was our favorite kind of day on a Caribbean cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Bring your ID to the Morgan Resort check-in, as they will ask for it.
โœ“If you have dietary restrictions, bring packaged snacks to the Morgan Resort due to allergen labeling issues.
โœ“Consider resort day passes as a great alternative to ship excursions for a relaxing day.

How to navigate port shopping and excursion meeting points โ€” Shops are easy to access right off the ship, but be prepared for potential waits and outdated signage at excursion points.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Our two big ports on the #WonderOfTheSeas were St. Thomas and St. Martin- one of which we used for a #RoyalCaribbean excursion and the other was a self led day. We started with the Magens Bay Beach Getaway excursion with Royal Caribbean in St. Thomas and you can see all the details here. Then the following day we took a taxi to the Morgan Resort in St. Martin with pool passes, for a pretty perfect day of relaxing and airplane spotting. If you're gluten free or dairy free like us we'll also tell you about the food options at the Morgan Resort. But I wish we could tell you about Speedy Redemption in St. Thomas. Next time!
