yes it "appears" they are stopping at places to give the locals a boost in their economy! However, the choices are limited for excursions. I usually decline ship excursions as I get more from local vendors, but this cruise ship stops in places that I cannot in general shop around. Maybe it is a safety iissue? The only 2 excursions in Santa Rosalia are$169 each for 5 hours...pretty steep....and try as I may I cannot find alternate tours offered from the port. Live and learn.......

On an upcoming cruise, one of the port stops is Santa Rosalia 8-5 . There are only 2 excursions offered at a seemingly high price of $169 for about 5 hours. This includes a 90 minute stop at the beach. ......I cannot find any other non-cruise line excursions when I search. Looking for input on those who have been to this port and if you know if alternate options are available. We always have used non-cruise ship excursions and never once had any problem. We would so appreciate your input on this asap. ( I did make reservations with the cruise ship excursions for all but one port......) Thank you. We are to be on the Voldendam departing December 10 from San Diego.
