Creator's Key Takeaways

don't cram too many activities into one day don't be the unexperienced Cruiser who tries to do two full-blown excursions in an 8 Hour Port day it's a recipe for disaster

make sure you give yourself at least an hour before All Aboard time at least otherwise you're going to be running for the peer

if you're seeing an overwhelming number of negative replies oh he was late or he didn't get us back on time find somebody else

when you get on board the ship check with the concierge or the Excursion the shore desk to see what last minute deals they're having

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't overbook; avoid cramming too many activities into one day.
Always allow buffer time before All Aboard time when booking independent excursions.
Check reviews for excursion companies, but take them with a grain of salt.
Look for package deals to save money on excursions.
Choose excursions close to the port to maximize time on location.
