Excursion timing advice

A crowded day — popular excursions may fill up, so booking ahead is smart. Aim for morning departures to enjoy sights before the biggest crowds build. Note: 4 ships arrive within the same hour, so expect a morning rush at the terminal and excursion meeting points — an early start beats it.
