Comfortable and good time, bring cash. - We had a very nice day with Bob. The first part of the time it was raining but the views were still breathtaking. Only downside was that for the cruise they said they only would take cash. And the only stop with an atm had a terrible conversion fee, still cheaper than buying it as part of the package.
