Such a GREAT experience the host was very knowledgeable, his English was amazing (great for travelers who only speak English). We booked the 4pm tasting although it was only a hr long we did not feel rushed at all. Our tasting included 5 shots of rum and a food sampler for EACH of us to have our own individually. Once we were done we were able to just enjoying the cruise scenery outside or we could have sat inside as the host prepared for his next booking. Have some drinks before you go and just add to your experience, it will be worth it! Happy drinking!
