hollon Posted October 21, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2008 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostAgain Posted October 21, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2008 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.

tomko2 Posted October 21, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 21, 2008 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! Kathy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise_Couple Posted October 21, 2008 #7 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Personally, I wish I could book a round trip cruise with nothing but sea days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemylab Posted October 22, 2008 #8 Share Posted October 22, 2008 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!

cb at sea Posted October 22, 2008 #11 Share Posted October 22, 2008 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!!!

rednancy1 Posted October 22, 2008 #18 Share Posted October 22, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Cruz Chic Posted October 22, 2008 #19 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Funny no one mentioned taking a nap! Add us to the list of sea days lovers!!!! *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda/Ohio Posted October 22, 2008 #20 Share Posted October 22, 2008 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crosboro Posted October 22, 2008 #21 Share Posted October 22, 2008 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
