Thanks for all the answers! This helps a lot.
r&d, what time do you usually get to the ship?
Have you done any private tours and if so, any companies you would highly recommend? I went through the Panama Canal years ago on a Celebrity big ship and we used a great tour guide in Panama but I think they are gone.
How many people are on the Windstar tours? Do they all go together or are they broken up into smaller groups? We usually save a lot of money on the private tours, but the private tours in this area seem to cost about the same as the Windstar tours.
We would love any other tips you have. I am a great believer in having as much info as possible before we go, so we don't miss anything.
Thanks again.
