Casablanca Shore Excursion Review | What We Wish We Knew Before Visiting Casablanca was one of the ports we were most excited to visit on our Virgin Voyages cruise — but the shore excursion we booked didn’t turn out to be what we thought we were getting. In this video, we share our full day in Casablanca, including our visit to the stunning Hassan II Mosque, exploring the city, and the unexpected challenges that came with our tour. From a very late start and our group being split up, to confusion over entry fees, limited guiding along the way, and a disappointing stop at Rick’s Café, this was a classic case of expectations vs reality. We’ll walk you through: What went wrong with our Casablanca shore excursion Why the tour ended up being much longer than advertised How combining two different tours caused confusion and delays Why we ultimately decided to leave the tour early and explore on our own Highlights that did make the day worthwhile — including the Hassan II Mosque What we’d do differently if we visited Casablanca again This isn’t about bashing Casablanca — it’s about sharing real cruise travel experiences so you can make better choices when booking shore excursions, especially in ports you may only visit once. If you’re planning a cruise to Morocco or considering a Casablanca tour, this is what we wish we knew before booking. 👉 Let us know in the comments: have you had a shore excursion go sideways — and how did you handle it? 👍 If you found this helpful, please Like the video 📌 Subscribe to Dockside Travel for honest cruise reviews, port guides, and real-world travel tips 🔔 Turn on notifications so you don’t miss our next episode — a fun sea day filled with Cruise Quest games, laughs, and great food 🚢 Stay Connected: 📍 Facebook: facebook.com/docksidetravel 📷 Instagram: @docksidetravel Please Note: While we share our opinions and personal experiences in this video, it is for your entertainment.
