Creator's Key Takeaways

by 11:30, we were in the pool on the back of the ship.

the interior spa room was actually very spacious.

I definitely want to try to go back.

it was the brewery on the vista. They have the uh Red Frog Pub and it's one of the six ships that actually has a brew master.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the port early for a quicker embarkation process.
Consider renting a golf cart in Bonaire for more flexibility, but plan for time constraints.
Avoid set-time dining if you have late port returns to maintain flexibility.
