May sound a silly question, but asking any way. When visiting the varies ports, Are we free to leave the ship to visit and shop the places. without having to book the excursions. :)

Yes bossmum1, you are free to just go ashore and do your own thing like we did when we could not get the tour we wanted.We had some good times ashore although we were back on board the ship in time for the main meals. :) Roy

Transport into town depends on how close the town is and whether they're allowed to (a carribean thing). I've never paid (yet!) but it seems sometimes they charge.

Best tip is to enjoy it. Observatory bars are usually great locations to watch the world going by.

Have fun!
