Creator's Key Takeaways

We have two passengers who found out the hard way what happens when you go on your own shore excursion and not a cruise lines booked excursion.

They ended up having to fly into Manila and then fly into another port to catch up to the cruise ship.

They were very light-hearted about it, very good-hearted about it.
