Island Card (visiting Island Q-111)
~ When visiting the Free Port of Porlamar, Margarita Island, on board ss Neptune, you treat yourself to a duty-free shopping spree including a string of pearls (the name Margarita comes from the Greek word for pearl). You also take home samples of the local craft work, such as a Chinchorro (colourful hammock), ceramics and a mapire ~ a handwoven basket made from African palm trees. ~
