What's a port day vs. a sea day?
A port day is when the ship meets land and you get to explore ashore like the tourist you absolutely are. A sea day is the opposite, nowhere to dock, which means the ship becomes the whole plan and you suddenly have opinions about trivia, pool chairs, and whether noon is too early for dessert. Once you know those two rhythms, the rest of the itinerary starts clicking into place.
