Tips For Booking A Hana Cruise Excursion

By Cynthia Olson


Going a cruise is a great way to travel, it is as simple as purchasing your cruise ticket, and everything else is taken care of for you! You don't need to worry about the food, hotel accommodations, etc because it is an all-in-one ticket price that covers all of the necessities. But, there is one big item that you will need to book on your own: the hana cruise excursion.

Gather What You Need- It is always irritating when you get off the ship and find that you have forgotten something important. You will do best if you think out what you will need for any given shore excursion. Sunscreen is almost always needed, no matter what the outing. Then, you will have to think about appropriate clothing for the activity.

The advantages of booking your trips with the sail line are these: you will have the peace of mind being aware that you won't miss the ship when it is leaving the port, the ship will always wait for the trips sponsored by the sail line (if the trip is late). Also, you will have a chance to spend the day with other people that are on the same sail as you.

The cruise lines might also supply you with items for your trip. For a beach trip, a towel may be offered. For snorkeling, the snorkeling gear plus a life jacket will be available, either on board or when you get off the ship. The ship may provide a box lunch for some cruise trips. Make sure you have yours.

The trips do cost a little bit of money, but it is well worth it because of the experience that you will have! The sail trips are usually the best memories from your vacation, so don't skimp on your time in port!

Sails, essentially, have two aspects: the on board activities and entertainment options and the exploration and trips at each port. While, for some, sails are a great chance to relax, others view them as an opportunity to explore the world. Part of planning a sail trip, if you consider yourself the latter type of traveler, is planning trips at each port. Options, in this case, include activities through the sail ship or independent-led tours. Although both options show travelers the best places to shop and eat, introduce the culture, and guide travelers through popular activities, such as hiking or snorkeling, which is better for you?

Stay With Your Group- There may be times on your sail trip where you could wander off from the group and go your own way. Sometimes this is a part of the outing, but be sure to get back with the group at the appointed time. Meet the group on time and be extra careful to be back on the ship before its departure time. Missing the ship could make for one of the worst trips you could imagine.

Aside from this convenience, cruise-led tours have another asset: being in line with the meal or departure schedule. Any tour guide, in this case, is aware of the time all travelers must be back for dining or for when the ship leaves. With an independent tour, you're on your own.
