Hi!
I kept silence for a long time but this is enough for me.
Since prices for cruise line excursions went dramatically up I prefer to find third party private guides in ports but there are some ports where it is still better to buy excursion form the CL. And for many years same thing happening.
Almost on every excursion (does not matter short or long) they are bringing you to a local store like for craftsmanship demonstration and trying to push/sell you something. And it is defenetely NOT about craftsmanship demonstration. Like in every Turkish port it will be pushing of carpets. Usually it takes at least 30-40 minutes of the whole excursion, even if escursion is only 3 hour. And this is the time you payed for.
So. What do you think? Should the cruise lines let us know in advance in the description for the tour that you will be taken to the place like this? And should tours with included pushing sells discounted?
