Creator's Key Takeaways

I'd say personally I'd lean towards the boat yard that's what we've personally done it's one of the things that we just really really enjoyed.

Pick cruises based on itineraries that really really interest you. I find a lot of people visit the same ports on a regular basis because they're loyal to one particular cruise line.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the ATM on the cruise ship for cash or ensure local ATMs are in brick-and-mortar locations.
Do a little planning in advance to maximize your limited time in port.
If visiting The Boatyard, consider doing the snorkeling tour early to avoid crowds.
Use your phone to check recent, high-volume reviews for local restaurants.
