We were on RCL for 46 days around the horn, and this was one of two ships tours we did (the other was a bust).
I was going to say "What was the bust tour"? but somehow that didn't look right once I typed it . Once we retire and move down to TV we plan to take a respositioning tour leaving or arriving from or to a Florida port. I'm a planner, so just want to know what is good to avoid. Have done 4 or 5 cruises, on in the western Mediterannean (which I highly recommend - great way to sample Europe without much hassle) and one in Hawaii (great way to see several islands, which is expensive by plane).

We mostly devised our own shore tours as well, both to save money and to have more fun. Sometimes getting there is the best part (city buses, taxi driver conversations, etc).
