Creator's Key Takeaways

My advice to you is do not book a beach escape through PO. Just book one yourself. Go out first thing in the morning.

This Caribbean cruise is great. You will need cash for all the taxes out and about on the islands cuz they don't really take a lot of card.

The airport staff don't even know what gates, what flights we're going out from. So just to be aware. It might be chaotic.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not book beach escapes through the cruise line; book independently to save money.
Take seasickness tablets for windy island roads and rough sea days.
Carry cash for taxes and small purchases in Caribbean islands.
When using US dollars in the Caribbean, ask for change back in US dollars to avoid receiving local currency.
Leave a set of clothes out for the final day to avoid packing chaos.
Book behind-the-scenes tours early as they are highly recommended.
