      I don’t know. When I go to a city as a tourist, I typically stay for 4 to 7 days before moving elsewhere, so that I at least have a very vague idea of what the place is like. One afternoon isn’t enough time to do anything, you can see a museum and have a coffee, which is nice, but doesn’t tell you much about the place.
      I suppose it’s another way to visit, but it’s odd to me.

        Sometimes it’s not about the city you port in. I’ve been to St. Kitts a couple of times and have kayaked, snorkelled, toured, and chilled on a beach. I’ve gone SCUBA diving during a stop in Puerto Rico, and horseback riding in St Maarten. I mentioned it in another post, but now I would be willing to book a week long trip in some of the destinations I’ve been to with a confidence that I’ll enjoy it.

        Most of my vacations are to single destinations, but the sampler platter that is a cruise is fun too, just for different reasons.
