Another really unique cruising opportunity, would love to hear from those that will be on the ship.

Port time have some variables. The largest in most cases is the itinerary, where they have to be next. Usually in cases like Aruba, the next port maybe Bonaire or Curcao, so they are relatively close by, hence the late leave time. I do get the desire to be in port longer.
Things happen, it is just the way that it works. We were on a Journey cruise that the sole reason we were doing it was one port of call Greenland. We never got there. We ended up spending 14 days in Canada, which we could have done for less than half the price. At the end of the day, you have decide what and how you will deal with it.
