I'm laughing...I could spend a lifetime on the beach. You have to drag
me away, at the end of each day. I've yet to reach my limit. On private
island days, you'll find me on the last possible tender back to the
ship. On other port days, get me to shore as early as possible, and get
me back to the ship with cushion enough, but not too much extra time
before the ship sails.

I can agree about shopping. I'm good for about 10 minutes. On my last
cruise, this past March, I didn't shop AT ALL. Bought nothing the whole
week. Lovely.

Agreed. Just wish more cruiselines followed the HAL model, with the
show for late seating being after dinner, not before. Movies never seem
to be at convenient times, though.
But, really, there have been few shows on ships that have impressed me.
It's not a huge loss if I miss them. Last year, on the Oosterdam, we
had such a great table in the dining room, that we often missed the
late show, because we were having such a great time with these new
friends, that no one wanted to leave the table. That was a perfect
traditional dining scenario.
