Aquarium was very clean...

Aquarium was very clean and lots to look at. We were fortunate to be there right when they opened and did not have to wait long or deal with any crowds.

Start where you sign up for and not go by the schedule it says when you book it. It was a good value and I enjoyed all the attractions we did.

Nice experience while waiting on the ship

The view from the tower was amazing and the aquarium was nice. The instructions say meet at 10 but the tower opens at 11. We didn’t have enough time to complete the three event because we were going back to the ship at 3:30 and not enough time with all the walking that we did getting there
