Normal
1) Alcohol is not included in the price of the cruise. Very few excursions include alcohol in the price of the excursion. 2) If you prepay your tips, it means you pay your tip before you board the ship. You have to establish an on board account. I believe that prepaid tips show up as a credit against your on board account. 3) Yes, there are Internet stations on the ship. However, they are expensive (33¢ to 75¢ per minute) and slow (like dial up speed).4) The excursions are as long as they need to be. You may find some longer excursions, but most are half day. You can pick one long one, two short ones, or one short one and spending the rest of the time exploring on your own.5) You can ask a cab to take you somewhere. However, make sure you get back well before the ship leaves. If you go off on your own and don't make it back in time, the ship will leave without you. If you are on a ship sponsored excursion and the excursion is late for some reason, the ship will wait for you. You can rent a car if you want, but I recommend you do the research first. Renting a car in Mexico for example has risks that you don't have when renting a car in the United States.
