Toro Verde on Embarkation Day?

[sunbird21]

Hi,

I am going on NCL Viva in January and staying one night pre-cruise, along with extended family. Unfortunately, we don't arrive until afternoon/early evening. I have previously cruised out of  SJ and went to Toro Verde in Orocovis, although I flew in two days prior and did it on a full day. I think the majority of my family would enjoy it, but is it pushing it to try to do on embarkation day? I know the ship leaves later in the evening but forgot what the cutoff time is to board.

 

Also in my group will be my mom(83) and DS (6), who obviously wouldn't be doing the ziplines. Does anyone know if they can go along as spectators? If we did not do this, does anyone know of any tours/excursions that would be elderly/child friendly for the rainforest( my mom does want to see it)?

 

TIA,

Stacey
