Creator's Key Takeaways

We've almost paid $200 each for this. that it is a bit meh, but the actual content of the tour hopefully is going to be a lot better than our guide.

This is probably one of the most stunning places I've ever been in my life and we've been to a lot of beaches.

We were completely ripped off. I don't know why we fell for it again.

Overall, that was one of the most disappointing meals we have ever, ever had on a cruise ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Get early tender tickets to maximize time in port.
โœ“Plan your day in port before you arrive.
โœ“Speak up and complain to guest services if something isn't right.
