Isnt my time at each port limited on a cruise?
Yes, of course it is. Typically, port visits are full day stops, usually from about 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. But here’s how that 8 or 9 hours of valuable time isn’t spent: • You won’t spend time waiting for your luggage on arrival at the airport. • You won’t spend time waiting to pick up a rental car. • You won’t spend time checking into a hotel. • You won’t spend time checking out of a hotel. • You won’t spend time returning your rental car. • You won’t spend time checking in for your flight to your next destiation. On a cruise your time in port is just that – your time. Your ship usually docks downtown or very close by (versus arrival at a distant airport). Your tour bus is waiting because you’ve had the option of pre-selecting your tour onboard. You just step off the ship and onto your bus and your visit begins! Your time in port is utilized more efficiently than on almost any other form of vacation travel. If you fall in love with a destination – Excellent! Come back on another vacation an
