I very rarely take an excursion as I prefer to go off on my own or with friends as opposed to being herded around.


Yes, the port situation is limiting but I choose the ship first as what I really love is the cruise experience itself.  The itinerary I enjoy most is Southern Caribbean.  I am a beach person so I tend to find a pretty beach and spend the day there, having lunch off the ship. Occasionally I shop but it gets to all look the same.  I am a hot sauce nut so I bring back sauces from many of the places I visit.


Often if we are in a port I do not care for - St. Thomas, Nassau - I stay aboard and enjoy having the ship to myself.  It's great!
