What are "ports of call"?
Ports of call are the actual places that the cruise stops at for your various destinations. For example, if you take a cruise to places in Mexico, your itinerary might include several destinations in Mexico for you to be able to go on land and either do your chosen tour or for you to just go shopping, etc. There are a set number of hours the cruise line will give the passengers for each "port."
