A good port day has a plan: one thing you really want to see, one place to eat, and an hour with nothing scheduled. These five make that easy.
Barcelona, Spain
Walk the Gothic Quarter in the morning, take a long lunch, and be back on board before the sail-away. The cruise terminal is a short ride from everything.
Honolulu, Hawaii
Diamond Head at sunrise, then shave ice and a swim. Plan the hike first, because the heat builds fast.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Most Caribbean sailings begin here. Arrive a day early, take a water taxi along the canals and do your shopping before you board.
Miami, Florida
Art Deco architecture, a long beach and some of the best Cuban food in the country. Easy to enjoy in a half day.
New Orleans, Louisiana
Beignets for breakfast, the river for the afternoon and live music at night. Sailings from here start with a party.
