#14: Not Checking Cancellation Rules for Excursions
Excursions can look exciting when booking a cruise, but plans do not always go smoothly once the trip begins. Weather changes, fatigue, illness, or mobility issues can make travelers suddenly decide they would rather skip a tour. Unfortunately, some excursions have strict cancellation policies that leave passengers stuck paying anyway.

Taking a few minutes to review cancellation deadlines before booking can save both money and frustration later. Flexible policies are especially helpful for travelers who prefer keeping plans adjustable during the trip. It’s also smart to avoid overbooking excursions too far in advance before knowing how your energy level will feel onboard.
