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
