Agreed. My first cruise was a southern carribean cruise…eight days. We left out of San Juan. We cruised at night…departing about sundown. Woke up every day in a different port where we had the full day to explore. I loved it!
Last cruise was 10 days…with four “at sea” days. We were traveling in a party of 17 so we kept busy. Took jewelry making class, scrapbooking class, ballroom dance lessons, went to some lectures, did trivia every morning with our team…And did lots in the evenings too…karaoke, game shows, shows, etc.
