Creator's Key Takeaways

when you go on a cruise you're going to have two kinds of ports as a general rule you're going to have ones that the ship pulls up to the dock and you disembark directly from the ship right onto the pier the dock there

the people who have excursions booked really get first come first serve on that so if you're in a tender port and you're there from 7:00 in the morning till 3:00 in the afternoon and you want to be one of the very first people off the ship you're going to probably want to book an Excursion

if you're late back to the ship with one of those thirdparty vendors sometimes they're not going to wait because you're not with a ship Excursion so that's really important and to keep in mind

I'm a firm believer that traveling and seeing things and meeting people changes us for the better

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions as soon as you see what you want to avoid sell-outs
Check with Guest Services about mobility requirements for tender ports
Always be in line by the last tender time to avoid being left behind
Read reviews thoroughly when booking third-party excursions
