Sometimes part of the cruise agenda is to do sightseeing without changing hotels. (That was the case for our Western Med cruise). It does become important to research the shore excursion costs. For example, Rome is far from the coast. Our day trips (including bus, tour guide, fabulous lunch) were over $200 per person. Similar for Florence and Pompei/Sorrento days. Luckily we knew this was part of the deal. (On Cruise Critics, you can find alternative group options, but for our first trip we wanted assurance that “the boat will wait for you”).

This year we took a Carribean Cruise. It was for vacation / relaxation. We intentionally wanted ports that were easy for self-touring.
