1. Find a Cruise Deal

Start by checking current sailings, prices, and promotions across multiple cruise lines.
Use a trusted comparison site so you can:

  • Compare itineraries side by side.
  • Look for onboard credit, drink package promos, and reduced deposits.
  • Read final payment dates and cancellation policies.


Search Cruise Deals🔍

Tip: Once you find a sailing you like, jot it down on your
Cruise Overview page in the Cruise Printable Bundle.

2. Browse Excursions by Port

Once your cruise is picked, it’s time to plan ports. Use a trusted excursion platform to find:

  • Beach days, boat trips, and activities that match your vibe.
  • Filters by activity type (relaxing, adventure, family-friendly, cultural).
  • Real guest reviews and clear cancellation policies.
  • Ship-sponsored vs. independent options.

For each port, fill in the Port Day Planner sheet from your Cruise Printable Bundle
with meeting times, meeting point, and “must-see” items.

3. Mix Ship Excursions with DIY Days

Not every port day has to be a paid excursion. Mix in DIY days to stroll the port area,
find a local beach, or enjoy quieter time on the ship.

  • Use DIY days for budget-friendly exploring and free sights.
  • Use “big” bucket-list ports for more structured tours.
  • Always check last tender/boarding time and keep ship’s time.
  • Use the notes section on your Port Day Planner page to save backup plans in case of bad weather or sold-out tours.

Plan your whole trip on paper (or tablet) so you’re not scrambling the night before port.
