Does anyone enjoy a short nap

[csoud68]

During the day when cruising? I get up at 6 and don't go to sleep til 11pm..

 

The only way I can do that is to take a nap...usually from 2-3:30...I get up energized and ready to go...and I sleep so good on the ship..

 

Yes, I'm getting older..lol

Not every day, but sure. All depends on what’s going on but I’d rather get a quick nap in the afternoon than miss things like comedy and a hot crap table.

[Essiesmom]

Absolutely.  I hate cruises that have so many interesting things going on that I can’t fit in my nap.  EM

Best nap ever - last fall on Mardi Gras, during an afternoon thunderstorm. 😊

[Indytraveler83]

We will nap in the sun on Serenity, or as the above poster mentioned, storms are a great time to nod off too.

 

Our naps are rarely planned, but sometime you just need it.  I remember getting back from an exhausting day of snorkeling, and deciding to order room service at 3 PM.  Food came fast, and we decided to eat in bed and watch a show to recharge.

 

Then it was 9 pm...

That’s what sea days are made for.

Nope make me feel jetlagged if I do that . I don't get up early though 

[Toofarfromthesea]

I don't need a cruise to enjoy a nice nap.

Absolutely - I became addicted while in the Navy - knock off ship’s work at 1130 - finish lunch by 1200, nap till turn to at 1300.  Then many years of civilian workdays made it impossible to feed my habit , but now back to that civilized routine.

 

Not just while aboard ship, but a key part of being able to enjoy a full day anywhere.

Prior to children I was always a late riser but they had different ideas when they came along. So 5am was a normal wake time. I became used to it so even from when they were in their late teens I continued to wake early, thinking between 4.30-6am. Now I am older I have found an afternoon nap helps me to get to 10pm -12MN.

 

My husband and I do this even when we travel to Europe or America. We find that 1 hour kip after travelling almost 24 hours on a plane helps us keep going.

Also an early riser, an inside cabin is best for naps.

I never get up at 6am and never on a cruise.......but I love a good nap🙂

[sparks1093]

I don't sun bathe per se but lying in the warm sun in a lounger and dozing off, I'm all for that.

Oh don't you know it!

Insides are The Bomb, almost --at least for napping during the afternoon.

I prefer napping in penthouse bed was super comfortable 😁, I definitely like a nap depending on what is happening on the ship.

[Blondilu]

I rarely am able to sleep when the sun is up.  But, I do like to rest.  There's something about actually laying down and letting the ship gently rock you that is very restful.  Should I fall asleep it's only for a little while.  Anything more I wake up groggy and grumpy.

Some of the best naps are after some time in the sun and whatnot. I do feel like if I am napping, I am not properly taking advantage of the limited time I have on the cruise. Especially if in the cabin. I've taken some quick naps in the adults-only area before, and feel more satisfied with that.

[rkacruiser]

I have been known to fall asleep while sitting in a deck chair.  

[Cheesepleese]

I too am an early riser. Quite often on a cruise, I will hang out in the solarium and enjoy a soak in the hottub and when I lay on a lounger with a towel over  me I'm off into lala land pretty quick. Very relaxing. 

Cheers.

A cruise nap is the best nap. I like to work in a nap somewhere between 4pm and dinner. Sometimes on the Serenity deck but usually in my cabin. Wake up ready for the evening.

I get up at 6 on cruises and go to sleep about 2AM .I never nap.I am likely a lot older than you.😀

[14Terry]

I’ve been known to take naps between 2:30 until 4pm (another early riser here).  Naps on cruises are good for the soul 😊!

I can't seem to nap anywhere.  Airplanes, cruise..... I envy you all that you do.

[kochleffel]

I like to nap on sea days, or if I get back early enough from a shore excursion. Sometimes it's  inconvenient for my cabin steward, who usually has enough assigned cabins to extend work into the afternoon.
