Creator's Key Takeaways
It feels a lot more rustic. It feels a lot more natural Caribbean, but without all of the hassle of people trying to sell you things.
Would highly recommend coming here, coming away smiling, cuz I've got to say it's one of our favorite islands now.
I wouldn't hesitate to sail again. Love the ship, love the entertainment, the food's been superb.
