Travel Info On cruises do you have to go on shore excursions or can you just hang out at the beach? Travel Tips You can do whatever you want to do. You are free to spend your time as you like. One word of advice though...if you do decide to do some type of tour/activity, I suggest booking it through the cruiseline. Yes, you can save a lot of money booking with a group that is not affliated with the cruiseline, BUT, the group cannot offer you any assurance, in the event that something might go wrong. If you book a tour through an indiviual tour group and they are late getting you back to the ship, you are going to miss the boat. THE SHIP WILL NOT WAIT FOR YOUR RETURN. If you book a tour through the cruiseline and something goes wrong, THE SHIP WILL WAIT. This happened on one cruise I was on. A tour group's bus brokedown and the cruiseship stayed at port until the passengers were returned. We ended up leaving port about an hour late. That little bit extra you pay by booking through the cruiseline might very well be worth the insurance! Whatever you choose to do, keep that in mind. And have a fantastic time. Cruising is the only way to go! Others its your holiday you do what the hell you like!!! i think you have to pay to go on the excursions or even to leave the ship, check it out before booking anything On a cruise shore excursions are offered to guests to see more of the places they visit. You are free to go or stay or just walk around in each port until the ship is ready to leave. Shore excurisons are only suggested activites that the cruise ships sell. You can do whatever you want in every port. You can even just stay on the ship and lay by the pool if you want to. If you decide you do want to try the excurisions, don't buy them from the cruise line. You can get the same thing for half the price from local vendors once you are in port. going on my 12th cruise this August i have been on many cruises it does not cost any thing to get off the ship and you do have to pay money to go kiaking or something else but you can hang out on the beach. experiance You can do what you want. Most of the shore excursion cost extra and all of that information is given to you before you sail. You can leave the ship on your own for free and do what you want, just be sure to make it back before the ship leaves, they will not wait for you if you are not on one of their tours. |
