Poll - What Activities do you love the most?

[ssolomon56]

Question - What activities do you look forward to the most on a cruise, and what do you wish they'd offer even more?

 

Example: I really love karaoke, but it seems that lately it's being offered less and less on a cruise (except for Carnival). On our last cruise it was only offered twice for about an hour each session - and their selection was so limited it was just a waste. Also....I really love some of those really BIG contests like Quest, or Liar's Club.

1. The horseracing

2. The muder mystery dinner

3. Scavenger hunts

4. Cocktail seminar

5. Wine tasting

6. Getting pictures taken

7. Poolside games

 

Quest and not so newly wed are getting old.

I love just sitting on a lounger near the pool or in the solarium, reading and RELAXING!! Something I don't usually get much of. All the activities on the are wonderful and I know they are there but the relaxing part is what I look forward to the most.

The Murder Mystery dinner must be new. I've never heard of them on a cruise. Which ships? I do agree...the newlywed games are getting a bit old - mostly because the questions are ALWAYS the same. Very predictable no matter what cruiseline. They need to mix it up a little.

Since I don't "play well with others", I like to sit by the pool, drink in hand, and watch the other folks on the ship! We've seen some real doozies--women in thongs that really shouldn't be, or one that change ON DECK everytime her suit got wet!!!!!

A good book, some sun, a drink---how much more activity can I stand????

[leoandhugh]

The activity I enjoy the most is the one that I feel least compelled in which to participate. Like someone already said, after doing several cruises, games like the newlywed game and Quest are "old" I have always been grateful that I have never had the need to be entertained; it is never a "need to" or "must do" but rather "yeh, think i might enjoy that":)

I am on the next lounger over from Sue---relaxing by the Solarium Pool is one of the top reasons I love cruising, along with walking around the promenade deck and looking out onto the ocean. If there were no organized activities on board I wouldn't even notice.....

[cruiserbryce]

we really spend most of our time just relaxing around the ship. We have become bigger fans of the shows every cruise too...our first cruise I think we saw one show, now we never miss them b/c we're afraid we'll miss something great

[above sea level cruiser]

Does sex count as an activity? :D

[debshomespun]

I love sitting up on deck listening to the "LIVE" steel drum band playing calypso music and watching the ocean go by, just relaxing.

 

Then, I love the Grand Buffet!

[Island Annie]

Some of my favorites are:

1. The scavenger hunts.

2. Wine tastings.

3. cocktail seminars.

4. Any activities that help introduce singles to other singles onboard.

Well . . . . They don't give out ShipShape dollars for it, but . . . . yes, it counts.

[kbt2]

I am a total hip hop music listener and will have to say that I miss the caribbean music that is played by poolside, that has become less and less...as there is now more "recorded" type hip hop/top 40 music, then the live and recorded caribbean music...I wish RCI would play that more like they use to...I know they are trying to reach a younger group like us, but at the same time we are in the caribbean and want that escape...can go to disco (and we do) for the more hip hop/top 40 stuff. :)
