Should be Port of Call, Sorry.

 

I just checked to see that the for the itinerary I am planning this summer, my ship will be the only one in port at each of the three stops.

 

I was curious if others check how crowded their ports will be.

 

Do you check the port schedules to see how many ships will be in port to judge how crowded things may be?

I check port schedules, but not for that reason.

 

Pretty rare to have more than one ship in most ports down here.

I always check. How many ships and pax in port helps me make my decision of what excursions to plan. Many have complained they did not enjoy Tulum bc they feel like herded cattle. When we went, there were only 3 ships total, when usually there are 5 or maybe even 6, so it was very comfortable and not crowded at all that day.

I found it handy while on a land tour in the Adriatic. I avoided Venice and Dubrovnik on the days with the most ships.

 

For a cruise checking the ports is interesting, but I always go on private tours or DIY and get avoid some of the crowds.

Mostly for ports that have two or more dock locations such as St Thomas to know which one we might be at. Does help to know roughly how many tourists will be in any given port, so we know how long the taxi lines might be. Also about how long it might take to get back to the ship if multiple are leaving from the same dock somewhat at the same time.

 

CruiseTT com helps a lot but I find it's always good to check with the actual Cruise company websites as well to verify the ships shown on the site will actually be there.

When I set up the poll I must have accidentally set it so the results are not visible. I apologize. I do not think I can change it now.

 

Also you could ask nicely instead of being rude.

 

So the thread should be closed then as ( zqvol ) said.
