When I go to Alaska on a 7 day cruise, there are only 3 physical stops generally. We tend to go for walks, or maybe take the train out of Skagway, but bottom line is we’re rather relaxed. When we take a 10 day Europe sailing, we’re up early, we’ve generally got very full schedules as we’re hitting 8 ports and really only have 1 day to sit by the pool and relax. A 15 day Hawaii has 10 days at sea…talk about pool time!
The point is to evaluate your itinerary and your own energy level before you book your trip. Some people are so restless that the last thing they’d want are those days at sea – most of us seem to enjoy them.
I have clients that will never get off the ship, and really couldn’t care where it goes, as long as it’s warm outside. They are happy to simply enjoy all the amenities aboard, tend to participate in the activities (of which there are many choices), and/or just want to catch up with their reading and enjoy looking at the blue seas. If you are one of the small group of passengers that don’t disembark in a port, watch for specials in the spa…and enjoy having the ship almost to yourself.
