Day of week
Some ports are semi-lifeless on Sundays. Many stores and restaurants may be closed. So it's good if Sundays are days-at-sea.
Port overload
Check how many other ships will be in a port at the same time as yours. Number and size matter. Too many cruise ships (especially big ones) can create tourist congestion.
Docking facilities
Some interesting Caribbean ports lack adequate docking and mooring facilities to accommodate large ships.
