Creator's Key Takeaways

why you should book your excursions through a cruise line and and why a lot of people don't

the cruise line goes and tells you this all the time and they want to scare you they want to scare you because they want you to purchase only through them

you can get some free onboard credit for booking through the cruise line if that's what you wanted to do anyway
