Name your favorite thing to do on sea days & which ship

We have so many sea days on our next 7night. Thought it would be fun to share what people enjoy doing on any line. For me Royal(oasis class) would be watching my son zipline (did it once myself! But now I'm a watcher) Celebrity -mixology class once and behind the scenes kitchen tour and bingo and Disney- watching my son interact with any character.

How do you spend your days at sea?

Tanning and exploring the ship. In oasis class ship we attempt to watch the shows so we don't have to schedule it during port days.

Great thread!

I love sea days! On the NCL -away ships we love to do the ropes course and the slides with our kids, bingo and the other silly games, reading by the pool and lots of drinks! I always aim to go to the gym but that usually doesn't pan out. Anything that looks fun on the dailies we give it a shot!

On our next cruise we only have two sea days and I have to admit I'm a little bummed. We will do do just a half day on the private island so we get more ship time!

Having afternoon tea on one of the Cunard ships.

on carnival, we like to stake out a hammock in the shade on the serenity deck, then around 2 or 3 go to afternoon tea for a snack and to get out of the heat for a bit. then into the pool!

On princess, it's always hard for me to decide what not to do. I love the games such as the egg Drop, paper airplane contest, putting contest, ring toss. And then there's always the casino. The various talks about our destinations. Afternoon tea. Of course I can always do laundry. LOL LOL and sitting on my balcony watching the world go by.

It doesn't matter what ship, I sit in a semi-shaded place on deck (or on my balcony, if I'm lucky), read & watch the sea!

I've done it for 1 sea day(NOT enough) to 5-6 consecutive sea days (not too many!). I go for the itinerary & the sea. The ship is simply a means to that end. :)

I love to attend the enrichment lectures/talks on lines that have them. Otherwise, I'm always good for a nap...EM

Relaxed Breakfast, then a trivia session followed by some quite time (relaxing, reading, watch a movie) Lunch and then a wine tasting in the afternoon. If there is time a siesta or another movie. Pre dinner cocktails/drinks.

Any ship I'm on: If nice weather, walk around top deck or go to gym, treadmill for minimum 2-3 miles. Listen to my audio book poolside . Also get a massage that day. Very relaxing. .

Pinching myself that I'm really there living the lifestyle of the rich and the famous! Haha.

No seriously though, I spend my sea days enjoying the company of new friends (though a solo traveller - I'm outgoing and meet lots of lovely people). After a while I will do a bit of sunbaking, read on the top deck, enjoy watching the activities round the pool or get involved in something not too strenuous myself. Exercising my glass arm is a great pastime!

Exercising my glass arm is a great pastime, particularly for early evening cocktails at the back of the ship.

I love to establish a routine on board. Sea days make this very easy to do. We have breakfast in our cabin, walk the main deck, check out the library, check email, go for a swim, take a nap, dress and go to dinner... come back after wards and check international news on tv ... inbetween we watch the sea. check out passing ships...

Thank you all for your great comments!! Loved every single one!

We love to sit out on our verandah and read and watch the world go by.

All ships and cruise lines -- same thing.

What my DW and I like to do on sea days is ..... well......Ah..... private.

But thanks for asking.

PS. I really like Sea Days on any ship!:D

I had to laugh a little at that, because my last cruise had 15 sea days and my next one has 12. I love sea days.

My typical sea day "routine" is relaxing on deck in a lounger with a book or audiobook, and occasionally a sauna or listening to one of the lecturers. Sometimes a movie in the afternoon, and usually a visit to the library. Sometimes a nap. Or two.

We start our day sunbathing on deck- so nice after a long winter.

We like to go to the wine tastings and/or the teas in the afternoons.

We like the different music choices- go to karaoke or a sing along bar.

There is so much to choose from. Have been on Carnival, HAL, Princess. and RCI.

Oooh fun! anyone know if Disney has karaoke :) fantasy specifically

I like the ships that offer water skiing

and always go down to visit the glass bottom room to watch the whales and giant squid

I hate sea days. Try to avoid any cruise that has any, unfortunately on the mass market lines that is impossible.

Sundeck and read. Very simple.

Walking promenade deck laps on any of the Princess Grand Class ships. These have a full wrap-around promenade, where you go up a flight of stairs at the front of the ship, walk around admiring the view, then down a flight on the other side. Love those ocean laps looking out to sea!

I sit on the deck above the pool. Turn my lounger to face the water and watch my day drift by while soaking in the warm Caribbean sun. Of course a drink or two makes it all that better.

I like to read on sea days .I am bringing 4 paperback books on my next cruise .
