Creator's Key Takeaways

bimin is actually one of my favorite stops as I've mentioned before I love it it's super gorgeous

I do highly suggest it if that's your thing but um I won't be doing it again

I highly suggest the golf cart but people also say that um there's great places to stop and have fresh fish and rum punch

I highly suggest that one even though I didn't want to do it so see I get out of my own way sometimes

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book shore things right when they open at 120 or 135 days because they sell out
Read the shore thing details to know what to wear and bring
Eat dinner off the ship in Aruba to experience the nightlife
Rent a private boat in St. Kitts to see Nevis up close
