Local excursion options

[desertmoon]

There are 3 kinds of excursions: ship, internet and walk-onto-the-pier. We're limited to the ship's offerings in Colon and have looked into the exploding list of internet vendors through Trip Advisor. Any recommendations for free-lance vendors in Aruba, Cartagena, Limon and Ocho Rios? The internet deals used to be much cheaper than the ship, but that's changed a lot recently. We've had great luck with free-lancers in Puerto Rico, Bahamas and Mexican ports, but have not visited any of the upcoming sites and we don't want to be stuck without transportation. Any suggestions, including internet vendors you've used will be appreciated.

As this has nothing to do with Princess, you are far better off to look on the Ports boards, here:

where you will find lots of info on each port, including tour vender recommendations, and the possibility you won't even need a tour guide, you might be able to tour around "do it yourself".
