If seeing the world by cruise ship has a flaw, it’s that you only get eight to 10 hours in each port you visit. How do you make the most of such short stays? First, avoid the 11 types of shore excursions listed in the first guide below. Then, think carefully about the tours you do book. Our cruise team has oodles of advice on how to have the best day ashore.
Not that you always have to get off the ship. Last week I was on one of the first sailings of the giant new Princess Cruises vessel Sun Princess, and there was so much to do that I never left the ship. Don’t miss my first impressions of Sun Princess, which is more lively, more kid-friendly and more chock-full of dining, drinking and entertainment options than any other Princess ship that has come before.
