Creator's Key Takeaways

it was a really beautiful morning as I stated earlier it was pretty windy but with that Sunrise coming up over the hill it was really amazing

we really enjoy going to the main dining room it's really a lot more relaxing atmosphere than fighting the crowds in the buffet

the pool area was a little bit too busy for my kids liking so they asked us if we could head head back to the cruise ship

once you get up there it's actually really pretty and I encourage everybody to go up there and check it out

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Tip the driver if you take the tricycles at the port
✓Check your towels with your room key before getting off the ship
✓If the pool at port is too busy, consider going back to the ship
✓Try the Ringer burger at Guy's Burger Joint
✓Go up to the Sky Bar for great views

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

navigating the port — There are tricycles available if you don't want to walk the long dock, but remember to tip the driver
finding excursion meeting points — Look for Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3 signs in the port area
bringing towels off the ship — Remember to get towels before getting off and check them in with your room key before security
