Creator's Key Takeaways

My favorite tool by far is Shore Excursions Group.

They have the return to ship guarantee.

This is literally one of the first places I run to every time we book a cruise.

Trip Advisor, of course, is another good one.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Start with the cruise line's website to get an idea of what's available in port.
✓Use Shore Excursions Group for independent excursions with a return-to-ship guarantee.
✓Check Viator for specific dates and areas to find tours with reviews and pictures.
✓Use Trip Advisor for ideas on what to see and do in an area.
✓Consider resort for a day or Resort Pass for beachy day pass type of things.
