Creator's Key Takeaways

the Granger docked at Port Simone terminal it's a fairly long walk to the port area Cruise Village

our tour started 25 minutes earlier than scheduled at 1 20 pm

we didn't realize this tour was a one-way drive we saw on the right side of the bus and missed some of the most amazing views

if you're prone to motion sickness please bring motion sickness medication and a sick back or two with you

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask your guide which side of the bus to sit on for the best views before getting on
Use the restroom before boarding the bus as there is no restroom on board
Bring motion sickness medication and a sick bag if you are prone to motion sickness
Be aware that restaurant service is paused between 3 pm and 7 PM after returning to port
