The best cruise day here is not about checking off every stop; it is about choosing the version of the place that fits your energy, whether that means a landmark-heavy walk, a beachy reset, or a slower wander through the parts of town with actual texture.

- What should cruise passengers prioritize in Portland?
- Prioritize the easiest high-value stop first, then keep the rest of the day flexible.
