Do you find the ship less crowded in the morning or in the afternoon at ports like this?

I like to get out early, before the heat and crowds of mid-day.

But wonder how soon everyone begins to head back to the ships?

Of course, I am assuming decent weather!

Any good insight?

Well it all depends on many factors.

 

When a ship arrives early in port, within an half hour those assigned to tour groups will be making their way to land. Followed are those that will be self touring and investigating the island.

 

Ships should be quite quiet with limited activities and plenty of space for sunning and relaxing.

 

One thing to be aware of is that those on land will be informed by announcements and daily programmes the time to return on board. Typically in our past experience, safely 1 hour prior to the departure to no less than an 1/2 hour before the gangway will be pulled on board.

 

Those as mentioned, tour groups will always be brought back to the ship on time.

 

Others many have other thoughts.
