Ship price is the median "starting at" adult price of Royal Caribbean's excursions of that type. Independent price is the median per-person price of the top GetYourGuide results of the same type (checked 2026-11-02). Family of 4 multiplies the per-person gap by four; child prices are often lower on both sides. How we compare.
What to check when comparing
- Beach break / beach club: Ship beach breaks usually include the round-trip transfer and often lunch and drinks. Many independent beach-club passes cover entry and a chair only, so add a taxi when you compare.
- City / island tour: City and island tours vary from short trolley loops to full-day drives, so compare durations too.
- Dolphin & marine encounter: Dolphin programs range from a short encounter to a full swim, and price follows the time in the water. Compare like-for-like programs.
- Nature / waterfall / park: Theme-park and national-park trips vary a lot in what the ticket covers. Check whether transport and entry fees are included on both sides.
- Ruins / history: Ruins trips differ most in how far they go: a nearby site and a full-day mainland trip both count here.

Ships here dock alongside. All-aboard is normally 30 minutes before departure on Royal Caribbean, Carnival, NCL and MSC (check your daily planner). Plan to be back at the pier at least 60 minutes before the ship sails.
- Nature / waterfall / park (3/5): Dunn's River Falls is about an hour east of Falmouth..
