Excursion timing advice
With a super crowded port, book excursions in the earliest available time slot — popular tours sell out and excursion meeting points get congested. Prefer a relaxed day? Head for beaches or sights farther from the port and return after the morning rush. Note: 5 ships arrive within the same hour, so expect a morning rush at the terminal and excursion meeting points — an early start beats it.
