Why We AVOID Cruise Ship Excursions AT ALL COST | Celebrity Equinox

Editorial Summary

The creators document their experience participating in a cruise ship organized excursion in Curacao, a departure from their usual practice of booking independent tours. The sightseeing trip includes a bus tour of the island, a visit to a Blue Curacao factory, and a stop at Mambo Beach. During the bus portion, the creators observe the Dutch-influenced architecture and discuss the windy conditions of the island. At the factory, they sample various flavors of Curacao and purchase a bottle to take home. The excursion concludes at Mambo Beach, where they enjoy reserved chairs, drinks, and food. While the creators praise the service, the knowledgeable guide, and the convenience of the air-conditioned bus, they conclude that the tour felt rushed and was better suited for first-time cruisers. They express a preference for more intimate, private experiences rather than large group tours, ultimately rating the experience highly but noting it does not align with their personal travel style.
