What to do on seas days!

Recommended Posts

I am always with a big group on these trips so sea days are easy for me:

 

Sleep till about 9-930 then get up and hit the steam room, clean off with shower

Change over to bathing suit, Tee, shoes and grab breakfast.

After breakfast check out activities either set by our group or the ship. If nothing is happening at the time will simply roam around to see who is up.

Might go walk the ship or go up to the serenity deck for a bit.

Sometimes hike to front of ship.

Sometimes go use the water slide.

Sometimes go check out photos posted.

Morning varies as our group has many activities.

Cocktail usually around noon and spend some time lazying in the sun

Afternoon pool side or an hour nap mid afternoon if I stayed up late.

Our group has cocktail hours that vary start time as early at 430 or as late as 630 that carries us towards dinner.

Formal dining or buffett for dinner.

Comedy show after dinner then head to disco to socialize or dance or evening activities sometimes do the movie being shown on pool deck

All great suggestions & comments. For us it's especially challenging for us to not drink too many free DYI cappuccinos in the Diamond & Concierge lounges on Royal Caribbean cruises. Also on Royal Caribbean on sea days only , the MDR has the 'Tutti' salads for lunch where you select the ingredients and they mix & toss it for you -- a sea day highlight.

We love sea days but it'll be interesting to see how we fare on our upcoming 34-day freighter cruise from Houston to Antwerp on the Rickmers Seoul. No shows, no fitness center, no enrichment speakers, no elevators. Full kindles, lots of crossword puzzles, writing crushingly detailed journals, looking for cruise ships in our binoculars - "sigh".

We'll learn something on this freighter cruise which will help us endure the many sea days on our 113-day world cruise next year.

I send DW to the spa for a variety of deals, hair, nails, pedicure etc.

 

 

 

She loves it. Usually I boom her for 2nd day as it is a sail day, no port.

 

 

 

I hit the pool and the bar:eek::D

 

 

 

Both happy camoers!

 

 

You sound like a great husband!

We just took a 21 day river cruise and we decided the touring every day is to much, we were worn out by the 10th day in a row of touring. Give us a nice ocean cruise with lots of sea days to relax and just do what we want when we want. No more river cruises for us!

HUbby hates sea days....I don't mind sitting around the pool and reading!

 

My hubby hates sea days as well. This is why I usually cruise with my sisters instead of him. Hoping to try to change his mind when we retire in 2020.
