Ensure you pack all the essentials for a day in the sun, including sunscreen, hats, and swimwear. Comfortable footwear is also important, especially if you plan to explore different areas of the island. Having the right gear can make your day more enjoyable and stress-free.

Take Advantage of All-Inclusive Packages

Many activities and dining options are included in your cruise fare, but there are also exclusive packages available.
