Creator's Key Takeaways

if you book it independent the cruise signes are subject to Le leave you alone so my suggestion is try to book them with the cruise line

we end up purchasing a bottle of liquor for $91 that we could have got in another location for 40 something

they will compare the prices so take the picture if you see it cheaper take it's anything you see out there that Carnival can match inside they do match prices

we end up paying to get there and to get back when you didn't even have to pay that you can walk around the corner to the beach
