Thanks for the information, Frank..I have already reserved twelve spots on
the boat online for their 11:15 excursion...I was just concerned about
getting there on time since we had to tender in and as we all know, ship
booked excursions have priority when it comes to boarding tenders when the
ship docks.
Like you, we always go on our own except if the excursion is too close to
the ship's leaving port time..I don't like being bussed, trying to get seats
and wait for stragglers or being on someone else's schedule...Sometimes one
wants to stay longer at a place but must adhere to the bus schedule...We too
find that one can save quite a bit by going on their own and enjoying it
more.
Thanks for your safety warning, too!
