Creator's Key Takeaways

We've definitely stayed on board and not gotten off and explored the ship instead of getting off the port.

It is 100% a more laidback experience to stay on the ship when majority of the ship gets off to explore the different ports.

You may only have 10 if everybody else is off the ship.

Travel memories are priceless and you should get out and live a little.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider staying onboard to avoid crowds and save money on excursions.
Get off at ports to support locals and experience unique destinations.
Take advantage of port-day spa deals and less crowded ship activities.
Remember that itineraries can change due to weather or other factors.
Book trips primarily for the location, not just the ship.
