[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Independent excursions are usually nicer or at least cheaper.  Go visit cruisecritic’s forums if you want any tips for a particular port or cruise. [/quote]

I thought you should never book independent excursions because if something happens and you don't get back to the boat in time the boat won't wait for you.[/quote]

This is what I heard too. And, they are vetted - if you go out on your own you could end up with some shady excursion that’s dangerous/not regulated/under the table. [/quote]
The excursions to see the Whakaari volcano in New Zealand (in 2019) were RCL vetted. Yet numerous people died or were horribly burned by the eruption. A cruise excursion is no guarantee that all will go well![/quote]

I’m pretty sure vetting a company won’t ensure that a freakin’ volcano won’t erupt on any give day  :roll: [/quote]

Have you WATCHED the documentary on that accident? It's not that the volcano erupted. That's what they do. But there were signs that they shouldn't have gone on that excursion that day. And really no plan in place to deal with it. [/quote]
