Cruise Monkeys description on YouTube:

Welcome to the Cruise Monkeys channel, if you didn't know, we are bananas about cruising! We are a CLIA-registered travel agent. We’re not here to ‘influence’, we just love bringing you along on our adventures through our vlogs. More info 👇 We are British cruisers, based in the U.K. and we started cruising in 2014. We have now done over 40 cruises! When you watch our vlogs, we want you to feel you are on a cruise with us - these videos should give you a really good idea what day to day life on a cruise is like for us. While everyone is different and want different things from their cruises, we just love sharing our experiences with you as they happen.

For the itinerary with long excursions, pick one or the other and do the cruise again if possible.
