Thread: Poll Of The Day 8/23/05 - What do you do in Port?

Today's Poll is about what you do in port. Do you do shore excursions, play tourist, stay on the ship, or other?

I said other because it depends on the port, whether we have been there before, what port it is.......etc.............we have done everything listed before including stay on the ship..........

other- We take a walk into a port, usually get something cold to drink, In an hour or so we are back on the ship!!

Of course it depends on the port, but usually we just get off the ship for a little shopping and some drinks. We're not real big on excursons. We like to soak up a little of the local color ... well as much as you can when over run with TOURISTS!

It depends on where we are docked. If it is a place where there is a lot of local culture to soak up or so many things to see that you need a guide...I love to take those excursions. I like the local guide to tell me what I am looking at and the history behind it, etc. On the other hand, if I went somewhere where there is less to do or learn and rather it's all about relaxing and enjoying the natural beauty I would still get off the ship but would do it on my own.

It all depends on the port. If it is a place I have never been, I'll get off and do a little exploring. But I ususally only do 1 shore excursion per trip. For me, the ship is the destination.

Usually shore excursions unless I have been there before then I am a tourist!

Ditto!

Hey, sometimes i make good questions, sometimes I don't, It depends

Even if I've been to a port before, there's still something I haven't seen or done. I like to explore on my own or on an excursion, shop, try the local food, drink or just sit on a beach. I have yet to stay on the ship even in my least favorite port.
