Is this useful if I only visit a few ports?

Yes. You can read only the chapters for your itinerary and skip the rest. The value depends on how many of your stops it covers, so check the port list against your sailing first.

Does it help with planning days without ship excursions?

That is its main strength. It explains where ships dock, what is walkable from the pier, and how to get to the main sights, which is what you need to build your own day ashore.

How current is the information?

Print guidebooks are accurate as of their edition date. Port terminals, shuttle arrangements and transport schedules change, so confirm times and pickup points locally before you rely on them.

Is it better than free online port guides?

Online guides are more current; a book is more organized and works without a data connection. Many cruisers use both: the book for planning, the web for last-minute checks.

Does it cover ports in the eastern and western Mediterranean?

Coverage varies by edition. Check the table of contents against your itinerary, since some books lean toward the western Mediterranean or the big marquee ports.

Can I carry it ashore?

It is a reference book, so it is heavier than a phone. Many travelers read the relevant chapter the night before and carry notes or photos of the key pages instead.
