Allow me to offer an alternative viewpoint. At GC, you are tendered to the port. If you book an early excursion thru the ship, you will be the first off the ship. You are gonna spend a few more bucks this way but you are talking about having at least an hour head start over other passengers on the ship. This is a big deal when you are only there for 6 or 7 hours, Both times we have done this, we were on a very uncrowded boat to the sand bar, maybe 20 people on a 40 foot cat, and were the first ones there. 50 or so stingrays swarmed to our boat. We had them to ourselves. By the time we left, 15 or more boats shared those 50 stingrays. I do not condone the ship sponsored excursions but if/when I return to GC, I will book an early tour thru the ship again. It is the way to go at that port.
