Note: On Trip Advisor there is warning about relying on the Hop-On-Hop-Off bus – apparently the company only has 1 or 2 buses that hold only about 20 passengers. If the bus is full when it arrives at your stop, you have to wait until it comes around again. One passenger reported that after several attempts to get on the bus they had to hire a taxi to get back to the ship on time.
