One of our favorite things to do on board is to watch what we refer to as runners--it never ceases to amaze me how many people come running as the gangway is being readied to taken in. That said we have rarely used the cruise lines excursions in most ports we have been in there is more than adequate time if you just watch the time. We have taken private tours in
Rome, Florence, Athens and several other ports where the attractions are very remote to the port and we have never had a problem biggest thing is to plan ahead. Some of our very best experiences have been through private taxis or drivers that you can almost always hire on the dock. Go and have a good time just remember the penalty is far greater than the pleasure of one more drink.
