Creator's Key Takeaways
I have a couple of questions that I'm going to need your help for, please, because they have to do with advice that people want, and I think your contributions are going to be helpful.
I definitely recommend booking your excursions before you get on the cruise ship in particular if you either don't know what you want to do or if you really want to do something in particular.
What has been my favorite cruise that I have ever done, ever, is a really long time. We've been cruising since 2004.
I did not book private excursions for years because of that.
