From small cruise ports with one ship to bustling port cities where an 8-ship day is commonplace, I’ve sailed from all kinds of homeports around the world. A recent Reddit thread asked about crowd differences from port cities and highlighted what I think is a very interesting point when booking a cruise. The social media post asked if the crowd on a cruise varied by cruise port. Not everyone was thrilled with the cruise crowd out of Miami though. And while the length of the cruise and destinations involved play a much bigger role in the exact cruise crowd on board, the departing city definitely plays a role.
