🧭 How to play this day

CROWD-TACTICAL

Walk to Carlisle Bay right off the ship and do the headline stuff — snorkel the shipwrecks off Browne's Beach, settle into the calm water without fighting for sand space.

You'll share the bay with barely anyone, so pick the drop-off beach clubs for chairs and shade rather than walking the shore for space.

Why is this not crowded?

2 ships are scheduled today, representing approximately 608 passengers of combined capacity.

Compared with other cruise days: Well below average for this port.

Shore day advice

Great day to explore independently — taxis and tenders are easy, and it's a good day for DIY beach trips and independent tours.
