Loved it, but would have been better if we could have stayed in port longer.

5 out of 5

Just what we expected, a time warp. We wanted to see it before it became too touristy. We went out on our own and felt completely safe. Actually left something on a bench, realized it about 45 min. later and lo and behold it was still there!!! Where else would that have happened? People were very friendly. Most of the people we encountered spoke enough English that we didn't have any trouble.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

Docked about 8am, disembarked about 12:30pm. There were 8 of us so we sat in a seating area and read, played cards and talked. No big deal.
