In this video we take a look at the Pro's and Con's of booking an official shore excursion directly with the cruise line. When taking a cruise, one of the most important things for many cruisers are the ports of call you visit. For most, they will book an excursion directly via the cruise line, but is that always the best idea. In this video, we look at the pro's and con's, we compare to third party operators and also simply getting off at port and Doing It Yourself. This video is not sponsored, nor endorses any other the third party operators we mention, they are simply there for comparison, on costs and variety of options.
