We had to have a separate car pick us up and take us to the meeting point for the main bus. The car they sent was 20 minutes late with no notice. It was a pretty sketchy car ride and my fiancé and I were both a little worried. The boat ride was great. Not much time at the island and none of the food was labeled on the buffet so I started eating something that had items I was allergic to in it. Overall it was a good time but definitely could have been better.
