    In the Caribbean if you book tours and excursions through the ship you won’t get let behind. If you book on your own, you’re responsible for getting back to the boat on time. Good info in your video. Lots of ideas.

      It is crazy expensive, indeed! I justify it by realizing if I bought a boat, a fishing license, gas, harbor fees, it would cost a lot more! :) My favorite is to mix a can of sockeye with an equal amount of chopped walnuts. Add some craisins, liquid smoke and a little mayonnaise. Wonderful dip or sandwich material!
