Cruise isn’t all about spending time on a cruise ship and enjoying its many amenities. You will probably want to book some cruise excursions during your trip to explore ports of call-the-ship visits. But before doing that, make sure to check out these helpful tips.
Research Ports of Call
Before embarking on your cruise, research ports of call. This will give you an opportunity to see which ones are worthy of your time and prevent you from spending money on underwhelming experiences.
Book Early for Must-See Ports of Call
If there is a port of call that is on your “must-see” list, make sure to book it early. Oftentimes, popular cruise excursions fill up before the cruise even begins, putting you at risk of missing out. Luckily, all cruise companies allow you to book cruise excursions online, so take advantage of that.
Consider the Activity Level
Most cruise lines will have a note about the activity level required for each cruise excursion. Make sure that you are comfortable and able to handle the given activity level. Otherwise, you might have a bad experience that will sour your entire trip.
Check Out Some Ports of Call by Yourself
You don’t have to book a cruise excursion for every port of call you want to check out. Plenty of them have attractions in walking distance, so simply get off ship and start exploring.
