What is there to do sea days?

[Kellyfkrc]

I am concerned about getting bored on sea days. This will be my first cruise. What do you do besides lay around the pool?

 

We are going NCL.

We never lay around the pool.

Mostly, we don't work.

[Sauer-kraut]

If you see a post with "DAILIES" listed, click on that and get an idea of what is offered on sea days. I highly doubt you'll be bored, but bring a book just in case.

[OCruisers]

On Sea Days there are a variety of activities offered. Maybe one of them would appeal to you.

My favorite days are sea days, lol. We love having nothing we have to do but at least 10 things we want to do. Lazy mornings with coffee on our balcony, a little sunbathing, maybe an afternoon nap or another reason to return to the cabin in the middle of the day, lol, a martini tasting, a few games of trivia, schedule a massage or workout in the enormous gym onboard. I hope to do a transatlantic crossing at some point so I can have 8-10 sea days!!!

[shelly11]

As others have posted there will be a ton to do..........or just sit back and relax!

Which NCL ship? Even the older ones provide plenty of activities.

Each night you'll get the ship's newsletter and it will include activities available the next day.

Most, such as Trivia or Wii activities are free.

Some, such as wine tasting, have a charge.

There is a gym on board and using the equipment is free.

There is a deck for walking or jogging.

Most ships have an observation lounge for enjoying the view.

There is a library with books to check out and read, or reference books to use.

There are bars if you like to drink. Many have live musician to listen to during the day as well as in the evening.

Cards and board games are available.

Sometimes craft lessons are available.

There are other passengers to chat with.

Sometimes there are lectures to attend.

Except on POA, there is a casino.

My very first cruise I felt the same way - we sailed out of NY on a Sunday and our first port was San Juan, arriving Wed afternoon. THREE full sea days - I thought I'd be staring at the coastline wishing for three days to hurry up!! Boy was I wrong.. I LOVED the sea days. There's tons to do (or not), you'll find your groove. You may even find that you really do like just hanging out by the pool. Initially my husband was anti-cruise, thought he'd be bored.. "not gonna lay around in the sun all day" kinda attitude.

I think he loved it more than I did :rolleyes:

ROFL, too funny Donna

 

OP DH thought the same thing before our first cruise, he is anything but a "lay around relaxing" kind of person.

 

I really can't add much to the list you have already been given, but I will say that we have never been bored.

[Da-Painter]

Eat.

Order room service.

Go have an early snack.

Go to the buffet for breakfast.

Go to the dining room for breakfast.

Have a late morning snack.

Have a hamburger out by the pool.

Go to the lunch buffet.

etc.....

Got it.

[nycmode]

I actually find sea days to be the most relaxing. Less "running around" to and from places in the port.

 

The things I do on sea days:

 

Wine tasting

Casino

Watch shows on the ship

Dip in the pool/jacuzzi

Eat

Nap

Read/relax

Listen to music

Shop

Play mini golf

Do the rope course/rock wall

I'm also doing the same active training regimen for our upcoming cruises. Sea days are to infrequent to take for granted. Relaxing is hard work but someone has got to do it...

[deschoolie]

Matini tasting, spa or thermal suites, martini tasting (yes I listed it twice cause its generally offered twice on a cruise:cool:):D

[Kellyfkrc]

I am going NCL Sun

Create your own pub crawl and see if you can do 3 complete laps before lunch time. UBP comes in handy.

Holy cow - aren't there something like 10 or 12 bars onboard? I doubt I could make one complete lap and still be standing, lol. :D
