Which Shore Excursions suit you?

After speaking to many clients after they have returned from a cruise it is quite interesting to find out what each client looks for in a port of call.  The cruise lines offer so many shore excursions in each port of call and there will always be something to suit everyone.
Let's take the Caribbean for example.  If I was travelling to the Caribbean my main attraction for going would be the sun and the beaches with a bit of exploring and shopping but many of my clients look for something different.  Some of the shore excursions offered now are really once in a lifetime.  Looking at many Caribbean islands Scuba diving is quite a popular excursion and jeep safaris of the islands.  I have had a client though who recently took a shore excursion in Antigua where they had a Yacht race.  They had boarding a yacht where they went head to head with another yacht sailing Antigua's yachting mecca.  They had a go at sail trimming and winch grinding and took a look at Nelson's dockyard.  This seemed quite a fun packed day but then they had also had days where they didn't do much.  In Tortola they took a taxi to Cane Garden bay for a relaxed beach day and stopped off at Pussers Rum bar before heading back to the ship.  You don't always need to take in a shore excursion with the cruise line but when they offer such a wide variety you would be mad not to.  When I went to the Caribbean I only took in a couple of excursions as much prefer just to sit on a beach.  I think if  I went back I would maybe try doing something different that I wouldn't normally think of doing.  Have you been on any unusual shore excursions or do you prefer to do your own thing?  On our website Cruise.co.uk we have lots of shore excursions available to book online and at a really reasonable price.  You can either pop in your cruise you are booked on and view the excursions or pick out a destination to view.  The cruise lines do charge rather a lot for their excursions so if you fancy having an excursion orgainised for you rather than going off on your own, and at a good price then maybe take a look at the shore excursions we have on offer.
