    • some of the day excursions were a bit of a rip - off .They promised amazing diving just 1 hour out of the main port - it turns out that i saw more when i was being certified to dive in victoria, bc , which was also pretty lame diving surroundings.
    Another thing to watch out for is that the price of goods in the markets, sky rockets on wed/thurs because the vendors know that all of the major cruise ships port on these days.
    Your best bet for for 'budget' shopping is deffinetley early week, or late weekend, like a sunday.
    Also be warned that alot of these vendors have the exact same goods for much different prices...
