We enjoy cruises in the winter, to get some much-needed warmth and sunshine. But the ports are not that important. In Europe, some ports are very suitable to the one day cruise stop, but others are really too much of a tease.

As for the more exotic (Asia, South Africa, etc), my DH doesn't want to take those LOONNGG flights. So I humour him. Europe is fine!
