6 compelling reasons to avoid booking cruises with lots of sea days

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides six arguments for why travelers should avoid booking cruises with numerous sea days in favor of port intensive itineraries. First, fewer sea days allow for more time to explore diverse locations, which is often more convenient than land based travel due to the ease of not repacking. Second, a port intensive schedule can act as a hack for those worried about seasickness because passengers spend more time ashore and less time on the moving vessel. Third, choosing more port days may allow travelers to save money by booking smaller interior cabins instead of expensive balconies, as they will spend less time in their rooms. Fourth, port intensive cruises allow travelers to revisit familiar destinations to experience new activities. Fifth, travelers prioritizing destinations over ship amenities do not need to worry about booking the newest or largest ships. Finally, seasoned cruisers can take advantage of fewer crowds on board during port days, as most passengers will be off the ship exploring, leading to shorter lines for onboard attractions.
