You have cruised before-What would you not take or not do next cruise?

You have cruised before-What would you not take or not do next cruise? As you plan your next cruise you have thoughts about how you packed to much, or took to much on this past cruise or to little of this last cruise and then you have booked your next cruise. What would you do or not do on your next cruise? A 3 day, 4 day, 7 day or longer?

There's not much we'd change in terms of 'things', especially in the case of ex-Southampton P&O cruises where there aren't really any luggage restrictions. (Packing for an 11-night fly/cruise in the Med on a ship that does formal nights is a bit more of a challenge.)

 

What we would do, however, is more research on destinations to allow us to do our own thing at ports of call and not rely on excursions. We didn't do this sufficiently for our last cruise - Ventura, Canary Isles - and had some disappointing days because we made the wrong choices. For example, I can't believe we did an excursion (not a very good one) at Madeira - we should have just gone ashore, explored, and learned how to use the cable cars.
