Creator's Key Takeaways
It's only small, just takes about 10 minutes to go around, but worth a look.
You've got to be fairly fit and be able to manage and be able to manage challenging terrain slightly.
Don't rely on the handrail. It's nice because we keep bumping into passengers off the cruise.
Just keep keep your cruise card close to you. Don't lose it.
