We also like sea days in preference to port days,unless it is someplace
really worth while. That is why we are doing the hawaiian trip in
april so many nice days at sea coming back to california

Have you gone to Europe on a Cruise? There are some really worthwhile ports
there...

Excellent point. It really depends on the itinerary. There are only so
many Caribbean ports to visit. After several cruises and several repeat
visits to the popular ports, getting off the ship becomes less and less
important. The good thing about revisiting ports is that you can take a
more relaxed attitude - you don't feel the need to wake up, eat an
early breakfast, fight the crowds to the tenders, etc.

If I ever get the opportunity to cruise in Europe or Asia, obviously,
the cruise would be all about the ports. I'd be first in line to
disembark each morning, to get my fill of the sights and sounds of the
places we visit.

I would like to see what a 7 day cruise at sea, no ports, would be like
(yes, I know I can "pretend" that port days are sea days and simply not
get off the ship at all). It sounds positively dreamy to me, since I do
love my sea days. But, I wonder if i would reach my limit at some
point? Would there come the day when lounging on my chaise, early
morning until late afternoon wouldn't be cruise heaven to me?
