Laser tag is free, but you have to reserve a spot for guaranteed play else get in a standby line. I find on ships that offer this, you can't sign up until you get on board and that's when you see it in the planner. Same with iFly, North Star, etc.

What's the diving like on cruise excursions?
Hoonga replied to wozswoman's topic in Shore Excursions
Hi there, My husband and I have over 400 dives each. Most have been in the Caribbean. At first, I used to book all excursions with the cruiseship, but when I got wise and found out how much more the cruiseship charged, we started doing our own research and booked independent tours with dive shops. Many have links on their websites for cruise passengers with pickup. Do a little research and you may find you're saving over $50/pp for most excursions. Also, never do the scuba excursion they have at Cococay. As I said, most of our dives have been in the Caribbean, but we have also dove in Europe, Hawaii, Great Lakes, Australia, and Africa. The operation on Cococay is the worst one we have seen (no boat, setting of the equipment on the floor so that sand gets in everything, a long and uncomfortable ride to starting point by laying on a plastic stretcher by jetski, having to show your c-card multiple times on and off the ship, no water, etc.).
