Creator's Key Takeaways

my favorite part of cruising is the food I absolutely love the food

it was an amazing aming time the first thing you get to see when you come off of the ship

this is by far the fastest Mountain coaster I've ever been on

the ice skating show was amazing they did it the two different days I think a total of four shows

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book the dragon breath zipline shore excursion ahead of time or on the ship before arrival
βœ“Try to get a morning zipline time to avoid lunchtime crowds
βœ“Go to the farthest beaches in Labadee for the best sandy entry
βœ“Look into all-day ride passes for the mountain coaster in Labadee
βœ“Find a taxi for tours in Grand Cayman instead of booking through Royal Caribbean
