Creator's Key Takeaways

Booking your excursion through Royal Caribbean is going to grant you some safeties.

They're going to communicate back with the boat and say, "Hey, we have your group um on this excursion, we got a flat tire, we're going to be running late, but we will be back."

But if you book your own excursion outside of the cruise line, you don't make it back, you fall asleep on the beach somewhere, you don't grab that taxi, and you don't get back to the port, you're definitely in jeopardy of getting left behind.

I want to know that uh Royal Caribbean has vetted the excursions that I go on and that I am safe with the people that are hired to do this excursion.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions through Royal Caribbean for safety and to avoid missing the boat.
Do your research ahead of time to figure out what works for your group.
If you book your own excursion, ensure you return to the port hours early.
