What goes on in a cruise ship between 2 and 5 AM? Anything interesting to do?

It might be a good time to take photographs of some of the open areas without anyone else around.

You beat me to it. Great time to take photos without any people around.

I am an early riser, so I grab my camera and start clicking all over the ship starting at about 5:00 AM.

6,000 plus passengers, and here is a shot of the Promenade in the wee hours:

Casino usually stays open if people are still gambling...

Some ships, notably on NCL, RCI, or Princess have "Open-all-night" cafe's, where you can get a meal or just a pastry and beverage to enjoy while perhaps reading a book....

go to the very top deck and enjoy it while watching the sky.

When allowed (varies by ship & line) my favorite place is the bow. Very dark because the bridge above needs to see where the ship is going. Sometimes closed precisely because it is so dark but several times I've been able to lay on my back on the deck and not stress the neck looking up.

You could keep an eye out for chair hogs at the pool
