Creator's Key Takeaways

We never look at the United States Department of State travel advisories. But when we got back on the ship, we said, 'Geez, it really felt very unusual when walking through Trinidad, particularly Port of Spain.'

The internet on this island princess is horrible. Horrible.

I would probably instead of you trying to walk it, you may want to do that, you know, just to say, 'Hey, I got off the ship. I walked it and I know what it's all about.'

If you're coming to Trinidad and you think you're going to a tropical island, if you're just walking off the ship, now keep in mind we're showing you today walking off the ship right to the city center independence prominade there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider booking an excursion or taxi tour instead of walking the city alone.
Avoid carrying backpacks on your back; carry them in front.
Be cautious with jewelry and valuables in public.
Do not go on Charlotte Street.
Check the U.S. Department of State travel advisories before visiting.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

When our ship arrived in Port of Spain, Trinidad, we headed out for a simple self guided walking tour like we’ve done in dozens of cities around the world. But once we reached the city almost immediately, something about the atmosphere felt different — not dramatic, just noticeably “off.” At the time, we couldn’t explain why. It wasn’t until we got back on the ship and finally checked the U.S. Department of State’s travel information that we saw Port of Spain is listed as a Level 3 advisory destination. Suddenly, our instincts from earlier in the day made a lot more sense. In this video, we share our real experience walking the streets, what felt unusual, what stood out, and how cruise passengers can stay aware and informed. This isn’t about fear — it’s about helping fellow travelers understand the vibe of the port before stepping out on their own.
