We are going on a cruise for the first time (ever) with Marella in April (Caribbeans) and have a few questions on excursions:
Book online vs on-board? Since it's our first, we do not know how much time we can handle travelling each day (with a 7yo as well), so we can book first few days online, but then wanted to have more flexibility with our plans. Will excursions fill up quickly when on board and there is a risk we run out of options?
Do they all start at the same time? The ship will be spending 8-10 hours in each port and excursion can be only 2-3 hours, so can we do multiple ones per day? The online booking system doesn't allow that...
Are there any places on the way that are particularly good for getting excursions locally: i.e. you can step off the ship and get picked up right there and returned back to the ship, not ripped off and safe? Our islands are: Barbados, Puerto Rico, U.S Virgin Islands, Guadeloupe, St Vincent, Antigua, Dominica, Martinique, St Lucia, Grenada.
Thank you!
