🧭 How to play this day
CROWD-TACTICALDon't linger at the piers — the duty-free mall area is at its worst on multi-ship days. Get in a taxi early (lines build fast in the morning) and commit to a full day away: Punta Sur eco-park or the east-coast beaches, both far less congested than anything near the cruise terminals.
Confirm your return taxi and keep your ship's all-aboard time on you — mobile data can drop out there.
