Karen:

I was told that they do have more than one excursion option on some islands. Also, on the subject of carry on alcohol, I asked the guy if I could bring some aboard and he said "well, it is our policy that guests cannot bring alcohol onboard." From what he said, and from the tone of his voice, I got the distinct idea that Cruise West doesn't enforce this like NCL does, with high tech X rays and all!

And I forgot to mention the all important $800 early booking discount!

Thanks,
Richard :) :) :)
