Creator's Key Takeaways
the cruise lines always recommend that you do an Excursion through the cruise line that you book it on board and the reason they give is safety
the first instance when I would say it's worth booking an Excursion is when the destination you want to see is more than half an hour away from the cruise ship port
the second reason I will consider doing an Excursion with the cruise line is when the place that we are is notorious for being a little bit unsafe
the third instance where I would consider doing an Excursion done by the cruise line is when it is a tender Port

Hey sailors, Those of you who have taken a cruise before will know that the cruise lines always push you to book your excursions with the cruise line. There are many reasons why they recommend this, the main one being that the ship will not leave you behind if the excursion is late back to the cruise ship. This is all great however, to go on an excursion with the cruise line you usually have to pay a premium, whereas if you are willing to do an excursion with an external company or even just explore the port on your own, you can do this for a lot less money or sometimes even for free. So in this video, I am going to go through the four instances when I believe it is worth paying the premium to do an excursion through the cruise line.
