Case 1: Couple wanted to take a cab from the dock gate. They were offered a private car with driver and guide for $15/hr by the company that had contracted to provide the shuttle buses when they inquired at the end of the gangway about getting a cab. They were told that they may not get a cab at the end of the dock. They had a fabulous time and spent about $90 for the two of them for the day. They said their guide was fabulous.
Case 2: Two people took the free shuttle to the first stop which was a hotel and got a cab from there. They spent $5/hr and used Spanish to talk to the cab driver to be driven to where they wanted to go. They visited a church and some markets.
Case 3: Couple wanted to take the free shuttle and waited at the end of the gangway for quite some time. Then they were told they could take a van to the end of the pier where the shuttle buses would be. When they got there, there were no buses but a demonstration by folks with guns dressed up in military gear. They came back to the ship and spent the day on board.
Couple #3 thought they left the ship between 10:30 and 11. #2 about 10:15. #1 at about 8:30. Our tour left about 10. So those who left earlier were lucky to get out. I have not heard of any problems getting back in but I'm not sure how the demonstration was cleared.
