stay on ship or get off at port and explore?

We were on Liberty in Nov. and got off the ship at each port for planned excursions.  Next month we'll be on Mariner for a little weekend cruise and I doubt we'll get off the ship.  Maybe just a quick little jaunt in the shopping area of Nassau just off the ship for a souvenir or two.  I'm hoping for a near empty ship to explore and enjoy.

 

Good luck with that plan. I sometimes think I am the only one on the entire ship that gets off in Nassau. People do not go far enough from port and therefore hate the port area. It is a not very desirable area.

I've found that with many Jamaica stops too many people don't get off.

We no longer get off the ship at Nassau or Costa Maya.

Been there too many times and have just run out of things to do.

Yep Costa Maya last week I wasn't impressed - it was raining too but we regretted not just staying on board.

We just got off the Oasis yesterday and only got off on one of the three ports.  We have been so many times that we enjoy a quiet ship while others have gone ashore.

 

 

 

We were on that sailing as well and only got off at one of the three ports too. :  Staying on the ship was so quiet and relaxing, which is what we were looking for on this trip.

Always take a look around, then back on board if nothing is planned...
