We rarely do ship tours for the cattle-car reasons as someone mentioned (I keep feeling like saying "Mooo" or "Baaaa") and one is typically overcharged for the privilege. If it's the only way, if we don't have at least a couple of hours leeway before sailing, if it's very remote and their is not enough slack time, or if the ship tour is the only way to get there then we MIGHT do the ship tour. Otherswise, we do our own thing, and it has always been successful for us.Again, I think the key is to do some research on the boards, and you'll find out who is consistently recommended.Whatever you decided... have fun... don't try to do to much (the first cruise, like many people, we just scheduled WAY too much and then needed a vacation from our vacation... LOL).paul
