Can't move the dates? How to avoid the worst crowds
- The heaviest port day is Thu 3 Jun — 3 ships in at once. See the marquee sights on a lighter day, or be there for opening time.
- On the busy days, the walk-up queues for the big sights are the biggest time-sink — a timed-entry ticket skips them, which is where a busy month is won or lost.
