Creator's Key Takeaways

We are the first ship ever to call in. We're on Carnival Vista. We're the only ship in today.

One thing we know for sure is it does not work. If you have Cheers, it does not extend to the island with alcoholic drinks, sodas, water, anything.

Umbrellas. So, we have gone to the private islands that are owned by Holland and Princess... No umbrellas to be had unless you rent them basically. So, this was nice.

Overall, it was a really nice day and I think they did a fantastic job with the destination.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get a map when you disembark for shopping coupons.
βœ“Be aware that the Island Eats voucher does not work at all food stands; check signage.
βœ“If you have the Cheers drink package, note it does not work on the island for alcoholic drinks.
