Creator's Key Takeaways

the ship will always wait for all their tours to return before leaving

I never do excursions which have meals included because what I've found is the meal just dominates the excursion

I would take the cruise line if the ship is a long way from the place of interest

those sort of things for me all kind of priceless because you can only this to the cruise line

βœ“Use hop-on hop-off buses instead of panoramic bus tours
βœ“Avoid excursions with included meals to save time for sightseeing
βœ“Book museum tickets online for less busy times instead of cruise line tours

YouTube Video Description↓

Which cruise line excursions should you take, and which not? I suggest 6 excursions that I would usually take with the cruise line, rather than with an independent tour company or self tour. I also recommend 6 that I would suggest you consider not doing with the cruise line, and how to do them yourself. The big advantage of going on a cruise line excursion is the ship will always wait for all their tours to return before leaving. They do not guarantee to wait fro late passengers on their own arrangements. However, consider my list of ones to do and not do when planning excursions on your cruise vacation.
