Creator's Key Takeaways

the first reason why you might want to stay on the cruise ship while you're in port is that you've already been to that port before

no chair hogs yes most people are going to get off the cruise ship when you're in port especially in those earlier hours

the casino is going to be closed so if you love the casino and this is something that you really enjoy doing on sea days do not stay on the cruise ship expecting that the casino will be open

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check the daily planner to see if there are enough activities to keep you interested before deciding to stay on board.
βœ“Take advantage of spa and salon deals on port days when they offer promotions.
βœ“Use port days to get photos of the ship without crowds.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Missing out on port experiences β€” If you've been to the port before or nothing interests you, staying on board can be a relaxing alternative.
Less activities on board β€” Check the planner; there will still be some activities like trivia and lectures, but the vibe is quieter.
