In the top right corner of the picture is the Caribbean Mall, just a few blocks from the front gate of the resort. A number of restaurants are within walking distance.

The cruisers' central gathering place is the dock under the Tree of Knowledge, or the Gossip Tree as it is sometimes called. "The tree" is actually a line of small trees so it accommodates almost any size crowd. In the shade, it is an ideal place to work, visit, drink, and celebrate birthdays, holidays, or any excuse, including getting through another day. Sunday nights alternate, one week appetizers and the next a potluck where the resort provides the grill, table, and chairs.
