When a Cruise is at port for the day must you disembark?

Question

Never been on a cruise before and was wondering if When a Cruise is at port for the day must you disembark?for instance lets say we arrived in the Bahamas,but I didnt want to get out the ship because I already been to the Bahamas..could I just stay onboard in my room or enjoying the pool,or eating?or doing whatever?or must I get off with the rest of the passengers

Thanks

Answer 1

No, you don't need to get out of the cruise.  There are a lot of things to do and the crew prepares a lot of activities for people who stay. Remember that people will be getting in and out of the ship at any time.  What I usually do if I have visited the island before is go to a favorite store or restaurant and then go back to the ship.  Have a nice trip!

Answer 2

You don't have to go ashore at any of the ports of call if you don't want to.

Many people go cruising to relax and the best time to really chill out is when the majority of the passengers are ashore taking in the sights.

You will be able to relax around the pool or anywhere else you fancy around the ship and there won't be any queues at the buffet.

Answer 3

No you do not need to get off the ship but the casino and on board stores will be closed. However, on the plus side, the Spa will run great deals and the pools and hot tubs will actually be available. There will also be on board activities to entertain you so you can still have a very enjoyable day on the ship.

Answer 4

you can get on and off as much as you want or even just stay on all day and enjoy the quiet, especially if you have already been there.

unless the one you are with drags you off

like I do to my husband ..... :D

Answer 5

No, feel free to stay back on the ship. the spa runs many specials during port days due to less people wanting treatments. The pools are usually not as crowded and it's easier to do more activities.

Answer 6

No, you are not required to leave the ship. In fact, you may just enjoy yourself trying out more venues on the ship. Have fun!

Answer 7

You can do whatever you like. One good tip is when you are in port is a great time to get a massage or you hair or nails done. They always offer a discount on this while in port. The casino's and stores on the ship are not open while in port, but the pools, dining room and everything else is.

Answer 8

no you can stay on.
