What is there to do during sea days?

[hollon]

I will be on the Mariner (1st cruise) next coming Friday, could someone tell me what there is to do during sea days? Are the shows usually at night? Thanks JOY :)

[LostAgain]

The shows are usually at night, but there is everything from relaxing by the pool, to mini-golf, to spa services, to seeing a movie, to fitness class, to all kinds of different activities that will be listed in your Compass and delivered to your cabin the night before.

sleep late (if you want), eat a leisurely breakfast, lounge by the pool, swim, eat, work out in the fitness center, browse the shops, swim, eat, use the hot tubs, watch or participate in the many games, go to a class, read, nap, eat, walk the ship, visit the bars, eat, spend some "private time" in your cabin, play bingo, go to the casino, climb the rock wall, play miniature golf, eat, play basketball, play cards, eat, .....and at night, you can visit the bars, eat, go to a show, walk the ship, eat, dance, work out in the fitness center, swim, use the hot tubs, eat, look at the photos in the gallery, gaze at the stars, walk some more, visit another bar.......

LOL... You forgot to mention ordering a midnight snack from Room Service... :D :D

[Hobiecat01]

Oh... and did anyone mention ... Eat...

We find our sea days to be so full we can't manage to get to all the things we want to see or do. We check the Compass the night before and highlight the events of interest, e.g. cooking demonstration, slot tournament, special sales, spa specials, etc. We make time to go to the photo gallery to look at the pictures from the previous day in case we want to purchase one or two. Plus we always try to have a game of mini golf each day. I bring a book on every cruise and have never had time to read one yet!

Personally, I wish I could book a round trip cruise with nothing but sea days!

[lovemylab]

Sea days are spent enjoying the ship. We enjoy sleeping in, grabbing a leisurely breakfast in the dining room, relaxing by the pool, browsing through the onboard shops and participating in the onboard activities.

 

I love sea days!

Me too, that is why I love Transatlantic repositioning cruises.

[cb at sea]

Hubby HATES sea days! He loves the ports and having something to do! He's not a pool person, doesn't shop or play bingo, climb rock walls or play cards!

If you don't want alot of sea days, book a port intensive cruise!

Personally, I could lie by the pool for days on end, as long as I have a good book! (and a beer!)

There's something for everyone on a cruise---you just have to pick the right one!!!

They are going to London and Scotland the week they are there and I booked all that for them. They took Grill level room both ways. It was a fantastic booking for me. LOL:D

[cruisinisforme]

I love sea days too, there is so much to do on the voyager class ships, I still find things to do

[rednancy1]

To me, the ship is alive on sea days!!!!

 

So much to do and see.

 

Room service for breakfast.

 

Spa or fitness in the am.

 

MDR for lunch.

 

Trivia, cooking class, shopping or whatever else in the pm.

 

Dinner and all the shops and casinos are open.

[Arizona Cruz Chic]

Funny no one mentioned taking a nap!

 

Add us to the list of sea days lovers!!!!

Breakfast on balcony/cabin via room service. Massage. Nap. Certain ships there will be afternoon ice shows. Go to the library. If there isn't enough in the Compass--go down to look at community board near Guest Services for a list of other gatherings....

[Crosboro]

We love the sea days, because you can take part in the many activities that are going on, or you can do nothing. We enjoy sleeping in a bit, getting breakfast, picking up the puzzles in the library, sitting on deck, having a bit of lunch, taking part in the trivia contests, having a drink or two, and on and on. It seems like it would be hard to fill an entire day, but it's not. No matter what, it's better than a day at work:rolleyes:

[megr1125]

you can do everything...you can do nothing! look at your cruise compass that you'll get each night...LOTS of stuf to do...or not! you can shop, gamble, eat, shop, gamble, eat drink...eat....sleep....eat.......
