Creator's Key Takeaways
I said I'd never go on such a short cruise. It's too rushed, too expensive, and frustratingly over before you even unpack.
We just sailed on a lure of the seas in January for that three night cruise right before it went into dry dock for a huge amplification project.
Short cruises used to mean limited port stops. So, it was usually just a basic stop at the beach or go shopping for some t-shirts and souvenirs.
Unlimited dining packages are significantly cheaper for 3 and 4 days than for a full week.
