If u have to fly to get the ship, 4 days is too short. I think it's to fill up ship w people who can drive to ship and use it like hotel for a ong weekend.

Appreciate your feedback. 4 days is just too short for the cost of airfare for us. We started with only 4 days and realized that a7 days wasn’t that much more expensive. Glad you enjoyed your short cruise, but I suspect that you’ll go back to longer sailings.
