We booked the attached tour from Salerno last week (off the Equinox). It was the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend this tour operator. Captain dropped us in any town along coast we wanted to stop and explore.

Side Street Cafe (not on water) has the best lobster roll in town. Stewman's is right next to the pier with great views. Might not be the best lobster dinner in town but you can't beat the location.

We also flew out of west palm. Our flight was at 3:10 so we weren't worried about missing it. With a 1:00pm flight you should absolutely do self disembark. They called for those people around 7:45-8:00am.

Also just off the Silhouette yesterday and agree cruise was one of the best ever and food in MDR was excellent. Much improved from our cruise on the Reflection last year. Ship is in great shape and service was top notch. Disembarking was a real downer though. We did not do self disembark. At 9:40am, they had only called number 24 (we were number 32). Then they just announced that everyone should leave the ship. We were in line outdoors in the cold (45 degrees) for over an hour. From the time we exited the ship until we got through customs was a solid 2 hours. Porter said that issues was with staffing of customs personnel. Hope that our experience was not the norm.

Highly recommend the Virgin Kayak tour. Wonderful. Then stop into Eat for a pain killer. Perfect combination. Taxi fare is $18 roundtrip per person. Easy to do.
