00:00Hello cruisers, I am Dan Klein, executive editor of Come Cruise With Me, and I am working,
00:05I am holding a beer, I am standing on a beach in paradise, and this is actually my job.
00:10You can see on the other side there's palm trees, it is unbelievably amazing, but we
00:15are here, I'm here with Dennis Post, Dennis is my travel agent partner, we're going to
00:18talk about mistakes people make when they leave the ship.
00:23Dennis, what is one of the biggest mistakes people make when they leave the ship?
00:28So they don't do their homework on excursions, and they may do something they thought was
00:32fun, but there's things out there that are a lot better, and something unique like, we're
00:37standing right here on Joe's Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands, and the only way to get here
00:42is by charter boat, or they do have a ferry, but it's very hard to do that from where we
00:47are.
00:48A lot of people settle for sort of like the on and off bus tour, or they'll do the touristy
00:53rum factory or something like that, even in sort of basic ports.
00:57I mean, I was in Nassau, and I took my mom and we went on a boat, it was the boat that
01:00later sank, but we went to that private island, and you got like a beach with like 60 people
01:06and 30 of them were snorkeling, so you almost had a beach to yourself.
01:09You really want to do your homework and figure out sort of what the best deal is, and do something
01:13that's local.
01:14Don't do something that's like sort of fake local, like, oh, I'm going to tour the chocolate
01:18store or the place that ends with the novelty t-shirts.
01:21Really find the thing, do your homework, there's all sorts of research out there.
01:24Dennis, any last tips for people when they get off the ship?
01:27Yeah, get yourself a good travel agent, or at least call and consult with one, like us
01:31with Postcard Travel Planning, because you can be on this beach, White's Beach, soggy dollar
01:36bar in the British Virgin Islands from a cruise.
01:39Amazing.
01:40And try a local beer.
01:41I'm drinking a Korean beer, sort of like a Corona, not the most unique beer, but pretty interesting.
01:47I am Dan Klein, he is Dennis Post, come cruise with us soon.
