Take Time to See the Sights

Advice from Alaska Cruise Tours Online:

If you spend only one night at a land location, you will find yourself rushed through the various sights, and will feel as though you didn't get an adequate chance to explore. Don't overbook your shore tours. Allow yourself plenty of time to explore on your own, do some shopping, or just relax.

Taking too many excursions in a port will likely leave you feeling as though you missed something. Tours often take longer than scheduled, so allow at least 1-1/2 hours between excursions. Book your shore excursions early. Some cruise lines allow you to book your shore excursions some time before your cruise begins. Take advantage of this to avoid long lines and disappointments.

It is especially important to do so with excursions that have strictly limited participation, such as those that involve flight-seeing. Seek out tours not promoted by the cruise line. You are not limited in your choices of excursions to just those offered by your cruise line. Often, you can find something that will be much more to your liking than the standard options. Get on the web and do your own research.
