1. 1.Arrive early for breakfast (around 8-9am) to beat the cruise ship crowds and snag a table with the best beach views.
2. 2.English may be limited, so consider downloading a Spanish translation app or bringing a photo menu guide to help kids point to what they want.
3. 3.Try the cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork) or fish tacos, which are usually mild enough for adventurous young eaters.
4. 4.Bring hand sanitizer and wet wipes, as cafeteria-style dining means more self-service and potentially limited bathroom facilities.
