Question Hi, I am wondering if you can help me. I haven't cruised before and my husband and I are going on a Mediterrean Cruise this August. Starting in Venice, going to Greece, Turkey, back to Italy, France and Spain. I have heard that a private excursion is better to hook up with rather than go on the ship excursions. I don't know how to find people looking to add 2 more people to their booked private excursions. Is there a website that we can go to?
Any help would be great!
Jackie
Answer Dear Jackie,
Thank you very much for you contacting me regarding your concerns. First off, I must say you have picked a wonderful itinerary for your first cruise. It will truly be memorable.
Regarding booking your shore excursions, I would highly recommend that you book them with the cruise line. You are entering unchartered territories that can be dangerous if you are not with a reputable company. Princess Cruises is responsible for your safety as other companies would not. The only other company I could suggest is www.shoretrips.com . They are reputable although I have never booked with them.
Would love to hear how your trip went. I love booking "first time" cruisers. It is such a joy to make memories for people. Have a great time Jackie, you will love Princess Cruises. They do a great job.
Regards,
