The same approach applies to our private cruises and diving trips: satisfaction is the only guiding principle.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much cash should you budget for daily activities?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is advisable to carry some cash for beach entrance fees or small purchases.
