Good afternoon, cruisers, or good morning, or good night, I don't know where you are.
00:03
My name is Dan Klein.
00:04
I am the executive editor of Come Cruise With Me, that is comecruisewith.com or comecruisewith.me.
00:10
I am next to Dennis Post.
00:12
We are sweltering under the sun here at Great Stirrup Cay, but I want to give a piece of
00:16
advice.
00:17
Dennis, we've been to private islands a lot of times together.
00:18
Is that fair to say?
00:19
Yes.
00:20
Now, you can pay extra for cabanas, you can rent chairs in certain cases, but I've been
00:25
to Coco Cay, I've been to the Carnival Island, I've been to the island here, I've been to
00:29
the Disney Island, there is one secret piece of advice that I think is really important
00:35
on a crowded day.
00:36
Do you know what that is, Dennis?
00:38
He does not.
00:39
It is keep walking.
00:41
Nobody goes all the way to the far end of the island, there's always chairs there.
00:46
You can see open chairs here, and people are looking around.
00:50
The chairs that are closest to the ship are going to get claimed first, so if you're looking
00:54
for a place to sit down, just keep walking.
00:56
In many ways, it's like the old Disney advice, which is go to the back of the park and work
01:00
your way forward, because everyone gets off at Epcot, gets in line at Spaceship Earth,
01:04
and the line is two and a half hours, then at five o'clock, the line is 15 minutes, so
01:08
keep walking.
01:09
You don't have to pay extra, and really, it is a lovely experience, whether you're at
01:13
Great Stirrup Cay, whether you're at Coco Cay, whether you're at Celebration Cay coming
01:17
up soon.
01:18
I don't even remember what the Disney Island is called, but that was lovely.
01:22
Have a good day, but don't complain about not finding a seat.
01:25
There's always seats.
01:26
I am Dan Cline.
01:27
He is Dennis Post.
01:28
Come cruise with us soon.
