How much do shore excursions cost?

How much do shore excursions cost? Seriously, though, it's highway robbery, isn't it?! I'm still fuming about it. I mean, those cruise ship excursions? They practically double the price of booking independently. I wanted to go snorkeling – this amazing reef tour, right? It was a hundred and thirty bucks through the cruise line. A hundred and thirty! Can you believe it? I later found the exact same trip, same boat, same guide, everything, for sixty-five bucks online. Sixty-five! I felt completely ripped off, like they're banking on the fact you're already on the ship, captive audience, you know? It's infuriating! I should've known better, I guess. Live and learn, right? Next time, I'm doing way more research, I’m even considering just arranging everything myself before I even step foot on the boat. Maybe I'll just rent a scooter and explore on my own. That’s probably cheaper than a bus tour anyway! This whole thing just makes me so mad, honestly.
