Half the fun of taking a cruise is exploring exciting new places! City tours, exploring ancient ruins, swimming with dolphins, or a trolley ride along the coast of Lisbon, I have done it all.
Cruise lines offer organised shore excursions on all ships for additional fees. These trips can range from sightseeing city tours to active pursuits. You can hike up the mountains in Norway, take a sunset cruise in Barbados; see Barcelona from an open top bus, or climb up Dunn’s River Falls in Jamaica. The shore excursions can be booked on-board or online before you depart.
There are many benefits to booking cruise line excursion and that is why over 80% of cruise customer’s book these trips. The biggest being the ship won’t depart without you!
So what about the terms and conditions and of course the prices….. You may recall that I covered these issues in a previous blog titled ‘Is Carnival price promise all it’s made out to be?’ I investigated the price promise on Carnival’s shore excursions and found that there were so many terms and conditions and forms to complete that most just would not bother. You can read more on this story at.. http://rosiecruises.co.uk/is-carnival-price-promise-all-its-made-out-to-be/
So what if you could save up to 60% on an identical trip, which you could book in advance whilst here in the UK …. Would you then consider the independent option?
Too good to be true?
