☆ I've been on 105-day cruises, but this 13-day one was the toughest. Its itinerary had a major flaw I'll avoid on future trips.

After 25+ cruises, I say the best cadence of busy port days to relaxing sea days is a ratio of 2:1. Ultimately, I think adding one or two sea days to the itinerary would've improved the experience and given me space to relax.
