Excursion timing advice
A great day to be in port — expect shorter lines, easier excursion availability, and a more relaxed terminal. Good day for the popular tours that are usually packed. 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.
