Practical Tips and Considerations
While the experience overall is highly enjoyable, there are some practical considerations. The deck can get crowded, especially in peak season, and the sun is intense — so bring sunscreen, a towel, and perhaps a hat. Since no umbrellas are provided, shade options are limited, and some review guests noted that “some people ended up walking off the deck red as lobsters.”
The tour is approximately six hours, including transfers, which makes it a full but manageable day. The length gives ample time for swimming, sightseeing, and relaxing, but it’s not suitable for those with motion sickness issues. Weather plays a role — cruises operate weather permitting — so it’s wise to check the forecast beforehand.
