What is your favourite thing to do on sea days?

[ILoveCruiseShips]

I am sailing the Valor in January with my husband and 3 boys and our friends and their 4 kids....I think this thread may give me some good ideas.

Depends if you want to do things with the kids or not! lol

 

The safest place to be so that you are virtually guaranteed to not have the kids around, and my favorite place on the ship, the Casino! But I am a casino freak anyway.

Relax in lounger with a good book...I usually end up staring out at the ocean and forgetting I brought a book :o.

I love to be lazy on sea days. We run around and wear ourselves out on shore days, so sea days are a good time to just chill. I like to find a sunny and breezy spot and read.

Buckets of beer and the cigars I bought on the Islands and give the kids money for the arcade room :D

[ILoveCruiseShips]

By the way the kids are between 17 and 12...they won't want to hang with us on the ship for sure. Also, we have a balcony room. Keep em coming...so far they are great!

My aft wrap balcony, my kindle, and a glass of wine by my side....now that's cruising!!!

By the 17 some beer :eek: he or she will not leave your side :D

[ILoveCruiseShips]

haha. He is not too interested in the beer...it's the one staying home (19) who would of taken us up on it for sure. My 17 year old and my 14 year old will be having room service at midnight for pizza and cheesecake. lol

Afternoon tea, usually at 3 pm (check the Fun Times).

Yummy pastries and little sandwiches. The smoked salmon ones were the best!

I enjoy a good long workout in the gym, followed by leisurely using the steam sauna (which have large window out to the sea!) Very relaxing! Another tip is to bring your own mud mask or facial stuff and have a do it yourself spa tx followed by a long shower in the spa.

I always fine a nice seat, or lounger in the shade on the aft deck, listen to GREAT music on my Ipod, and watch the lovely Mrs. Jones (Vita) as she soaks up the sun. (Doesn't hurt if there are a few more lovely ladies around in their bikinis as well!) REALLY makes my blood pressure go down, and makes me feel truly wonderful. :cool:

NICE!! my idea of FUN

[suzski]

First off....sleep in...I've probably been getting up early for those early morning excursions.

 

Then I love to read my iPad while soaking up some sun....and then go in for a steam/sauna ritual. Seems like very few people take advantage of the wonderful (free) facilities. I like delluser's idea of bringing supplies for a DIY mud mask. It's perfect as sea days are usually associated with formal nights.

[samzgirl84]

I like to sleep in and have a little mini breakfast(room service) and tea on the balcony in my jammies. (I love the gym/sauna idea and am going to try that when I cruise on the Freedom in 18 days. :o )

 

Then lunch in the MDR. I love the afternoon tea at 3:00. Love to have some relaxation in the sunshine (and think about how cooooold it is at home).

 

Usually try to do some ship exploring if I haven't seen everything already.

[Banditswife]

We are planning a M/G w/ our roll call. We usually try out the slide, get involved in onboard activities, eat MDR for breakfast or lunch, relax enjoy. The kids will enjoy the waterslide, arcade ice cream machine. a book on my balcony w a DOD.

[StingRaysfan]

We are a little different... we get up at the normal time and hit up all the trivia and games we can. In between we relax, talk, have some drinks... and hit up the next trivia. Winning a ship on a stick and eating well is our sea day priority...

I second this one , took us 10 cruises till we started doing some of these , they are fun , and all of the games around the pool as well . :)

[miamivice435]

Sleep-in, eat buffet, find a lounge chair near pool / hot tub, sit in tub enjoys converstaion, order drink of the day several times, relax by pool, sit in hot tub again. Repeat and Relax Enjoy Deck entertainment :D

[riclop]

Many people join the balcony club.

[iTouch]

Casino for me........

[ILoveCruiseShips]

I love these suggestions....reading, relaxing, bring your own mask for spa time, wine, suntanning, games and contests, not to mention eating eating and more eating.....sounds like you all know how to get the most out of your cruise. :cool:

If the children go to Camp Carnival, Valor has an absolutely awesome Serenity Deck on Deck 11 and 12 foreward. The best access is from Deck 11 starboard side where you go right out to a sitting area. They also have regular lawn chairs and huge round cabana style beds right at the front of the ship. One deck up there are large hammocks (2 on port side, 2 on starboard side), lounge chairs and 2 hot tubs at the front of the ship. All seating and lounge chairs are padded. It is a great relaxing place to hang out and read, watch the water, and so on. I actually read 4 books on my last cruise.

 

I think they have some type of scavenger hunt for kids on one of the sea days. The second sea day they had a towel animal folding class in the main lounge that some of the kids might enjoy.
