* Usable = time in port minus 2 hours: half an hour to get ashore, all-aboard 30 minutes before departure, and back at the gangway an hour before that. On an overnight call, the longest daylight stretch (08:00–21:00). Embark/disembark days and cancelled calls are not counted as sightseeing time; "conflicting listings" means two published lists cannot both be right. Each port's complete guide picks the day and the tours that fit.
