Creator's Key Takeaways

We've done this excursion before and it's pretty nice. So, we chose this one again.

Last time we did it was through the cruise line. Uh this time we did it uh outside of the cruise line, so it was only $45 a person, which is considerably cheaper.

We're not big wine drinkers... This is fun to experience all the different wines, but you can tell we are not wine drinkers.

I've never had eggnog before... This Mexican eggnog, it's the business.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wear closed-toe shoes for the excursion.
Book through Shore Excursion Group for directions and meeting point.
Arrive 15 minutes early for the tour departure.
