Creator's Key Takeaways

one of the most important things when you're thinking about shore excursions is your degree of confidence

the cruise lines will always guarantee that no matter what happens on your Excursion if for any reason your Excursion is delayed the ship will wait for you

if you book through a third party provider the ship will not wait for you

if you're concerned about getting back to the ship and you want that confidence then book with the cruise line

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book with the cruise line for guaranteed ship waiting if your excursion is delayed
Consider third-party excursions if you are confident about returning to the ship on time
