Only One Day:
Santorini, Greece
HOW TO PL AN THE PER FECT
DAY IN PORT
By Lisa Kahan
U
npack once and see the world — that’s the cruise
lover’s motto. But with only one day in each
port, how do you make the most of your limited
time? Take our advice: don’t dock and dash. Instead, pick
one or two highlights in each destination that really pique
your interest. By focusing on what’s most meaningful to
you, you’ll have more time to slow down and savor the
experience. La dolce vita, isn’t that what a cruise is all about?
Do Your Research Before You Set Sail
Onboard Wi-Fi can be expensive and slow, which is why
it’s better to do the bulk of your research before you leave
home. How far is the port from the city center? What
transportation options are available? Will you have a half or
a full day? Knowing the answers to questions like these is
the first step toward making a great plan.
Make a Must-See, Must-Do List
With only one day, it helps to have a list of what you’d most like
to see and do in each destination. Along with top attractions,
consider hidden gems such as lesser-known museums, special
exhibitions or musical performances, and be sure to include
any particular restaurants, foods or wines you’d like to try.
