Provisional — schedule may change🧭 How to play this day
CROWD-TACTICALWith several ships anchored, tender waits stretch on both ends of the day — go early for Stingray City when the rays and the water are at their best, then claim a quieter stretch like the southern end of Seven Mile Beach or Spotts Public Beach for the afternoon.
Build a real buffer before all-aboard: the tender queue back to the ship is the day's biggest risk, so leave the beach earlier than feels necessary.
