I actually got to spend two full days here on my 14-day Caribbean cruise on board the Holland America Roder Dam so I got to know this place pretty well
the clamshell was worth every penny to give me a break from being in that intense Caribbean Sunshine all day
the whole experience was about an hour long and despite the chilly water and less than ideal weather we had a great time
