Activities on Transatlantic

We just booked a SeaDream Transatlantic for this October, our first cruise on the line. I know SeaDream does not feature daytime activities, but are there any organized daytime activities on the many sea days?

 

We did a Windstar Transatlantic a ways back, also a cruise line without many activities. However on each sea day, they did have two or three low key things going on. For example a short talk by a crew member, napkin folding, a small craft making activity...e.g. origami.

 

We are fine with very limited activities, but is was nice to break things up a bit with these types of activities.

 

Thanks!

We have been on about 8 Transatlantic Crossings, and they are our favorite voyages on Sea Dream. We load up our Kindles, and plan for a relaxing trip with few expectations, other than relaxing.

 

As for daily activities, there is usually a lecturer or two on board -- and some have been very good. We particularly enjoy the one where a forensic psychologist spoke, and the one where a "rocket scientist" was a speaker. Others haven't been as entertaining, but all were very good.

 

Also, there is usually a daily trivia contest and occasional cooking classes and various activities during the day... And the last one had a pretty full schedule of things to do during the day. Certainly we weren't bored.

There are also bridge, backgammon, etc. groups; group effort on huge jigsaw puzzles. This current TA has had several trivia types. Golf simulator. The passengers are so gregarious that it’s easy to find someone to hang with and discuss everything under the sun over a drink and/or snack. Add that to the time you spend reading or whatever, and your days fly by. Oh, and the twice-daily brisk “walk a mile with a smile”, yoga, etc.

Good answers, guys! We have two speakers — one is a former astronaut and the other talking about UNESCO and aborigines and prisoners in Australia. All quite interesting. Music trivia in the morning — then time for lunch. Maybe some time for reading (or a nap) before trivia in the afternoon. Then time to get ready for cocktails, dinner and the Piano Bar! Have found days to be as full or lazy as you like.
