Creator's Key Takeaways

The food on board the Aqua was actually very good. I didn't have any complaints about any of the food we got in any of the restaurants or buffet area that we went and ate at.

The pool areas are free to use. All the lounge chairs are free to use. Um, it's actually a very nice, pleasant place to kind of spend the afternoon hanging out and maybe grabbing a drink ashore right here in the pool area.

I highly recommend going and seeing this show. I'm sorry I didn't get to do video, but I could at least get you something here.

We really enjoyed this excursion through the ship and we would recommend this to anybody to go spend a nice relaxing day somewhere in the British Virgin Islands.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get your dining reservations done as quickly as possible, about 120 days before your cruise, to avoid waiting in line.
βœ“If you want to eat at the buffet, get there really early, right after they open, to grab a table.
βœ“Bring sandals if you're going to go to the other side of the beach in Tortola because it's rough on bare feet.
