(ContentDesk) October 28, 2005 -- The Kelly family thought they had planned out everything for their cruise. But after they stopped at the first port-of-call they realized that there were more shore excursions than those listed in the cruise brochure."We thought we knew about all the excursions on our Caribbean cruise adventure but now realize that there were many additional places to explore. "But," exclaimed Kelly, "We did not know about the excursions we could have gone on in addition to the ones described in the cruise line brochure. We found many places to visit that were better matched to our own interests."Many people who have been on cruise vacations often find out about interesting shore excursions after it is too late. They arrive at a port of call with plans in place to go on a particular shore excursion only to find out that other opportunities existed that they were not awareof.But a new website has been established by The Cruise Report to help cruise travelers learn about some of the varieties of shore excursions that are available at the various ports-of-call.According to The Cruise Report, many people on cruise vacations do not understand all of the opportunities for shore excursions because they have never been there before.
Experienced cruisers know about the additional places to visit besides the items in the traditional cruise line brochure. Private tour operators can be found in almost any port-of-call. You just have to know who they are, where they can be found, what types of tours they offer and are they reliable?For more information on how people can get more out of their cruise vacations and the opportunities for interesting shore excursions, visit www.thecruisereport.com..

Single? Meet and Greet on a Yacht!
If sailing's your thing, just because you're single doesn't mean you have to miss out on some of the world's greatest excursions! You can book a cruise with an agency or a cruise ship, which organizes all the activities, on-board meals, and other amenities. There are a plethora of packages from which to choose, so there's a "matchmaking" cruise on a sailboat or yacht for anyone! Also, the entire yacht will not be comprised of only single people. Some couples like to join in on the fun, too, but one thing's for sure: you won't have to contend with any families, or the pitter-patter of children's noisy feet running around to disrupt the "mood."
Most cruise yachts catering to singles tours carry from 250 to 400 people, reserving a block of cabins for the groups of singles and the "couple's groups." However, some yachts and cruise ships can carry up to 2,000. You'll have no trouble finding the right number of people for your individual preference.
You'll have a blast sailing...
