🧭 How to play this day

CROWD-TACTICAL

Comfortable, but the port finds its rhythm by late morning. Do Bay Street and the waterfront before lunch, then head to Cable Beach or take the water taxi to Paradise Island in the afternoon when day-trippers peak downtown. Junkanoo Beach is fine before noon; after that the vendors outnumber the swimmers.

Why is this a little crowded?

4 ships are scheduled today, representing approximately 13,524 passengers of combined capacity. 3 of them arrive within the same hour, concentrating the morning rush.

Compared with other cruise days: Below average for this port.
