Creator's Key Takeaways

These excursions when you book them here almost half the price is what they would be on the cruise ship.

The ice cream is good. So, definitely we are at Sailor's Ice Cream. That's might be our new spot.

You can definitely book an excursion on your own. It does not have to be through the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book excursions on your own for cheaper prices, but ensure you return to the ship on time.

✓Check the last shuttle time when you get off the water shuttle to avoid being left behind.

✓Bring your own basketball if you want to play on the courts.

Getting left behind at port — Always check the last shuttle time and give yourself an hour buffer before all aboard time.
