Thanks to everyone with your suggestions. I never expected to get so much great advice and I now have a better idea of what we will be doing. I'm excited to visit the ports and do some excursions without feeling like I'm missing anything on board. Hopefully this will mean more cruises in the future but if not, the help offered here will make it more fun! Thanks!!!

First time cruisers on Viking and wondering how others balance time on ship to time on shore and excursions. We want to enjoy this vacation, see the ports and cities but also enjoy the ship and it's amenities (food, entertainment, spa, etc) Do we spend the hours in port visiting the city or booking excursions and only spend time on the ship for travel purposes? Maybe an odd question as I've not seen this addressed. Thanks
