Sauer-kraut Posted June 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn3gl Posted June 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 23, 2014 While we wait for our next cruise we have sea days on our deck. We listen to good music have a few drinks and take naps. You've got to love the sea days. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin07family Posted June 23, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 23, 2014 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMH15 Posted June 23, 2014 #15 Share Posted June 23, 2014 What do you do at home? On a rainy day? Oh wait... I clean and do laundry. And I don't think NCL would approve. Work out People watch Take photos or videos Meet new people To add a few. Sea days are the best!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLady Posted June 23, 2014 #16 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) 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. 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. Edited June 23, 2014 by NMLady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiD59 Posted June 23, 2014 #17 Share Posted June 23, 2014 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. 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
che5904 Posted June 23, 2014 #18 Share Posted June 23, 2014 What do you do at home? On a rainy day? Oh wait... I clean and do laundry. And I don't think NCL would approve. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycmode Posted June 23, 2014 #20 Share Posted June 23, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to love the sea days. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Forums mobile app I'm also doing the same active training regimen for our upcoming cruises. Sea days are to infrequent to take for granted.

LrgPizza Posted June 23, 2014 #24 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Create your own pub crawl and see if you can do 3 complete laps before lunch time. UBP comes in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
