Cruise Excursions vs. Independent Adventures

✨Travel Tip of the Day: Pros and Cons of booking excursions through a cruise line vs planning your own. (Save this for future travels!) We’ve experienced both cruise line excursions and independent adventures. For instance, the setting for this video was an excursion we booked through Royal Caribbean to Pearl Island, enjoying local cuisine and water activities. In Puerto Rico, we opted for a private guide, exploring hidden spots, hiking through the jungle, and swimming at a secluded waterfall. Both offered unique and memorable experiences, with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Cruise Line Excursions: ✅ Pros: Convenient, reliable, well-organized, and social. ❎ Cons: Expensive, limited flexibility, crowded, and can feel commercialized. Book Your Own Adventures: ✅ Pros: Customizable, authentic, cost-effective, and flexible. ❎ Cons: Requires planning, carries risk, involves logistics, and can be overwhelming.
