\u200cBooked a cruise? A cruise expert explained how to choose the right excursion to\u00a0Express.co.uk\u00a0and which mistakes to avoid.<\/p>\n

Janice Mucalov is a travel journalist and cruise expert at\u00a0CaboVisitor.com. She shared her best tips for booking a cruise excursion or day trip.<\/p>\n

Janice said: \u201cIt\u2019s tempting to get lured in by glossy descriptions, but as a seasoned traveller and journalist, I\u2019ve always believed in peeling back the layers. Yes, it\u2019s a good idea to meticulously scan through these descriptions, but one must learn to separate the marketing gloss from the actual experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cruise lines want guests to book on to their excursions but trips might not always be as good as they sound. Guests should check reviews before booking.<\/p>\n

Janice added: \u201cI remember one of my trips to Cabo. I\u2019d booked an excursion that was sold to me as the \u2018ultimate Cabo experience\u2019. The brochure painted a dreamy picture, but when we arrived, it was vastly different.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were shuffled from one spot to another, spending more time on the bus than at the actual attractions. That\u2019s why I now pay extra attention to transit times. After all, we travel to explore, not to commute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cruise ports can be a very long way away from the city centre or a destination\u2019s top attractions. It\u2019s a good idea to check how long the bus journey will be before booking an excursion. This is also important for guests considering booking a trip with a third party provider.<\/p>\n

Janice said: \u201cLet\u2019s talk about activity level. Just because an excursion is popular, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s right for everyone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recall a friend who once signed up for a \u2018mild trek\u2019 but found it far too strenuous. It\u2019s crucial to match the activity with one\u2019s own capability. One person\u2019s mild could be another\u2019s extreme.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guests should check with their cruise line if they are concerned about the difficulty of an excursion. Cruise lines usually provide accessible excursion options for guests.<\/p>\n

Janice added: \u201cWe all know travel isn\u2019t cheap. But when comparing prices, don\u2019t just look at the number. Assess what\u2019s included.<\/p>\n
