Creator's Key Takeaways

The cream cheese on top is yummy and the cake is light and fluffy and there's a little the bitter pineapple sauce. And it's quite delicious.

I went all the way to the top, while Rob went part way along the road and then headed back to the ship.

Sadly, the ship did not make it to Mystery Island as the winds were too strong for tendering operations.

Creator's Tips & Advice

You can just walk around a bit and soak up the atmosphere and visit the markets instead of cruise line organized excursions.
