And if I decided to stay on the ship and catch rays by the nearly empty pool, I'd push myself to get ready for the night and make the most of the ship's offerings. I also felt like I had to take advantage of the port stops by either signing up for a land-based excursion or just walking around the port area.
After hustling to pack, travel to the port, board the ship, and unpack in my cabin, I'd put pressure on myself to get to dinner, stay out late, and see a show.
