What is your criteria for choosing once you've decided on a location?
I've been doing a lot of research on both a Mediterranean and Northern European cruise. I've already received so many tips from the kind people here, so I thank you all for that.
Since these tend to be port intensive cruises, how do you decide which ports? I realize some of them are similar on many cruise lines.
For example, I'm leaning away from cruises that necessitate using tender boats in many of the ports (no mobility issues, just trying to eliminate some things that might be time consuming). I'd be willing to do 1 or 2 during a 10 day cruise.
I also am willing to eliminate Civitavecchia and Le Havre, since getting to either Rome or Paris from these ports doesn't allow much time in either of these places. We rather see them at a different time. We could do Normany from Le Harve.
I'm looking for a good mix of ease (walkable towns from ports) and organized excursions.
I stumbled upon a website called whatsinport.com that has a wealth of information.
Any tips/advice is greatly appreciated!
