If you want to make the most of your trip and have a long layover you have options of going out into the city and taking a tour. Donna and I took an extra tour of Lisbon, Portugal when we had a 15 hour layover on the way to Barcelona, Spain. It was a great tour, we learned and saw a lot and beat some of the time at the airport. While you can make your own tour like we did you also have other options that include local guides provided by airlines. Here is an article going over some of those options: https://www.cntraveler.com/gallery/how-to-make-the-most-of-your-layover?mbid=social_facebook_aud_dev

Donna and I have been on quite a few cruise ships overtime. Some are huge ships like the Carnival Vista and the Norwegian Breakaway. Others have been fairly small such as the Norwegian Spirit and the Carnival Fascination. The huge ships do offer more activities such as screens on deck by the pool, I-Max theaters, sky ride bikes, and many other things but small ships can be great too by giving you the chance to meet new people easier and they are less crowded.
