Don't forget to book your cruise shore trips and excursions when you book your Caribbean or Alaskan cruise, or you may miss an essential part of your exotic vacation.
Imagine standing on deck watching others getting ready to depart for a Zip Line trip over the rainforest in St.
Maartan, a helicopter trip up to one of the majestic glaciers in Alaska, or snorkeling along the reef in Cozumel.
This is a scene you don't want to experience.
An online cruise site will offer information about the many excursions that are available during your cruise vacation.
This is the time to select what experiences you want.
If you wait, then you will be standing in line at 7:30 in the morning on the ship, trying to sign up for the excursion that you want.
The most desirable excursions go fast.
Another advantage to booking your shore trip excursions is knowing what to pack.
If you want to go snorkeling for example you will want to take an underwater camera, sunscreen, and a cover-up for your back.
If you want to fly to a glacier you are going to want good sturdy walking shoes.
For the tour with shopping you are going to want to pack an extra shopping bag.
All the best cruise lines like Carnival, Princess, Disney, Norwegian and Celebrity can provide you with the information you need about the many varied excursions that are available to add to your luxury cruise vacation.
