Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to focus in today on ports in the Caribbean however you can use this decision-making process for booking an Excursion for any Cruise or destination

if the downtown area where our birth is at the pier is not close to the downtown touristy area is it a far walk do I need to take a taxi or is there not even a downtown area nearby these are reasons where I will definitely look to plan an Excursion

the excursions that are cruise ship sponsored are those tour operators that have been fully vetted by the cruise lines they are fully licensed and insured and they are stable organizations and they are very safe
