Check which shared format is being offered
A cabin on a liveaboard and a seat on an excursion have different inclusions, schedules and living arrangements. Ask which one the proposal describes and who organizes the departure. Check whether the booking is confirmed to operate or depends on a minimum group, and what happens if that condition is not met.
Understand the group rhythm
On a shared journey, the program must work for several travelers. Ask about wake-up times, dive or snorkel schedules, meal arrangements and quiet time. If you are not diving, request a clear description of your activities rather than assuming every dive stop will offer a suitable alternative at the same time.
Choose your cabin or seat with care
For an overnight trip, confirm whether a cabin is private to your booking or shared with another guest. Ask about bed layout, single supplements and what happens if the planned cabin changes. For a day excursion, confirm equipment, meeting point and the return arrangement. These details matter more than a broad shared-trip label.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is it confirmed to operate? | A sample route is not a confirmed departure |
| Is the cabin private to my booking? | Shared vessel and shared cabin are different |
| What can non-divers do? | The program needs to fit your own day |
| What if the departure changes? | Know the terms before committing |
