Creator's Key Takeaways

This is one of those ports that looks absolutely beautiful the moment you step off the ship

The beach is literally steps away from where you get off the ship. The water is crystal clear, bright turquoise, and absolutely beautiful.

It was thrilling and definitely got our adrenaline going.

Guys Burgers joint is easily one of the best free food spots on a Carnival cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring water shoes, sunscreen, and cash for chair and umbrella rentals.
Always remember the ship operates on its own time; pay attention to ship time.
Give yourself at least 45 to 60 minutes buffer time to return to the ship.
Compare prices before buying souvenirs to avoid overpaying.
Go earlier in the day or right when they reopen after port stops to avoid long lines at Guy's Burgers.
