Time in Port May Not be Long Enough

We just returned from an 18-day cruise. We booked late, within the last week, and online. The itinerary quoted was 'ports of call' only. The duration at several ports of call was merely hours: 6 hours shortest, 8 hours longest. Not long enough to see anything UNLESS you splurge on the expensive tours. Traveller beware - check the time in port carefully, we would have enjoyed the trip more if we had more than a few hours in port.
