Cruise Logistics

Timing and operational reality

Traffic can build between port zones and West Bay when multiple ships are in.
Reef and beach excursions are weather-sensitive, so backup plans matter.
Combo tours save time if you want beach plus sightseeing in one call.
Keep return buffer because island road speed is slower than first-time visitors expect.
