Creator's Key Takeaways

Don't always be in a mad rush to get off the cruise ship, especially first thing in the morning on a port day.

A lot of Caribbean ports are on island time, my friends. And that means the shops don't even open up until 10, sometimes 11:00 in the afternoon.

Do your research. If that's one of those ports and all you're doing is self-exploring, sleep in, have some breakfast.

Another great option is to book your excursion early in the morning, so that way the shops are open when you're done.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do your research on port shop opening times.
Sleep in and have breakfast if exploring independently.
Book an early morning excursion to align with shop hours.
