Creator's Key Takeaways

we are the very very very very very first ship um with guests to set foot on the island since the closures

most of the stuff that is chill is free most of the stuff that is thrill is an extra cost

it's a good way to distinguish so we spent most of the day over here chill today tomorrow thrill

we would definitely look forward to windjammer dinners returning because they're casual quiet dark cozy comfortable

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own snorkel equipment to avoid rental costs.
Use the free beach wheelchairs and strollers available on the island.
Check the reservation system for Windjammer dining to avoid occupancy issues.
