- Best for
- A wet day. Everything is indoors except five-minute walks between stops
- Room to spare
- Fits a 4.5-hour stop with nothing to add (off the ship 30 minutes after arrival, back at the gangway an hour before all-aboard). A longer call gives you the extra time; on this one, do not add a stop.
