Creator's Key Takeaways

now as a solo Cruiser this is the only way I would consider a third party vendor for an Excursion if I knew someone on the ship or connected with others or another solo Cruiser through available options such as solo meetups or online sailing groups

Regina and I were chatting and since neither of us had purchased an Excursion we decided to team up and to see what options were available in Port for this short Port date

we decided to do an Island Tour by taxi

as heard of stories of people getting swindled by vendors in some ports especially when it comes to taxis

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Team up with other solo cruisers or use solo meetups/online groups for excursions
โœ“Use publicly posted price lists at taxi stands to avoid being swindled
