‘Intrigued’ is how I’ll describe reading your informative postings. Thank you. QUESTION: Insofar as I have been to most of your Ports o Call (I snorkel & SCUBA, hike the jungles etc. ) would a better experience been had if one would simply arrive onshore, grab the first avail. local dockside transport and say, “Take me to the island’s BEST snorkel/SCUBA/Jungle hike guy, then to a good bartender.” ??? I ask thusly because I’ve gathered that the ‘expedition’ thing was/is in name only. I embrace off the beaten paths stuff and relish hangin’ with the locals for the day most everywhere; I simply need the opportunity to do so… Or is this not THAT kinda cruise?? Awaiting your thoughts.
