Creator's Key Takeaways
the cruise ship is not going to leave without you because when you book an Excursion through the cruise line even if that Excursion is 2 hours late
if the destination you want to see is more than half an hour away from the cruise ship port then it is probably worth doing an Excursion
if you do an Excursion in Santorini excursions will have first priority when it comes to tenders which means you will be able to get on the first or second tender
people who were on their first cruise really had a big fear of being left behind so quite often if they got off the cruise ship on their own

Hey sailors, Those of you who have taken a cruise before will know that the cruise lines always push you to book your excursions with the cruise line. There are many reasons why they recommend this, the main one being that the ship will not leave you behind if the excursion is late back to the cruise ship. This is all great however, to go on an excursion with the cruise line you usually have to pay a premium, whereas if you are willing to do an excursion with an external company or even just explore the port on your own, you can do this for a lot less money or sometimes even for free. So in this video, I am going to go through the four instances when I believe it is worth paying the premium to do an excursion through the cruise line. 🚢 WANT TO WORK ON CRUISE SHIPS? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sail For Success is the step-by-step course that helps you apply, stand out and get hired. - Join the course: https://www.cruisingascrew.com/course/#next-step - Free masterclass: https://www.cruisingascrew.com/free-training/ AMAZON ---------------- UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/cruisingascrew?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_4H6JEPED11QY9EN51B1D USA https://www.amazon.com/shop/cruisingascrew?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_K0ZM4SJA0VRQPH7168AE TIMECODES -------------------- 0:00 Intro 0:09 Why book an excursion 1:17 Distance 3:51 Dangerous 5:05 Tender Port 7:15 First Cruise 8:50 Conclusion 9:12 My cruise plans 9:23 Outro WATCH NEXT ---------------------- How I got my job with Virgin Voyages https://youtu.be/r9jPl59Ddcg How to deal with an awkward roommate https://youtu.be/9IDQEA9WT9M FOLLOW --------------- Website I https://www.cruisingascrew.com Instagram I https://www.instagram.com/cruisingascrew/ Thank you for watching
