something to do

[travsmom]

People always say there is always something to do while on a cruise. I don't always find a lot going on. I walk myself to death sometimes looking for something. I don't get into the pools because I am handicapped enough that I could not climb the ladder.(wish it was handicapped accessible).what do you find to do other than the casino? Where does everyone go after the theater is over?I read the fun times but it seems like so much is all at the same time and once it is over,what then. What am I missing out on I want to have as much fun as possible. Maybe it is because I go solo most of the time??

After the theater show is over you can go several places and listen to music. There are activities all day long. Trivia, exercise classes, on deck contests, dancing, serenity area where you can read a book or tan. Shopping, wine tasting. Martini tasting. Ice carving. Hang out on your balcony with binoculars. Mini golf. Library. Bridge games. Bingo. Towel folding. Karaoke. Casino. Or my favorite, catch up on my napping. I could go on and on.

Sometimes doing absolutely nothing IS the thing to do. :)

We are away from our daily routines and enjoy reading, relaxing and not having to sit in front of a computer. We enjoy the evening music entertainment while enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail.

I love looking for whales, or any other sea life.

Bring a book to read and roast out in the sun while eating unlimited ice cream! That's my way of doing stuff B)

After dinner & the evening show, we stroll around a bit. We sometimes go to the piano bar and listen to them sing, go to the disco, husband goes to the casino, sit up on deck and watch the movie.

Tea time!

Make your way down to the art gallery if it's available! It's really relaxing just to walk through and just get away from the hustle and bustle of things.

I alternate between reading and napping.

Making new cruising friends by stretching out of your comfort zone...on your daily schedule look for an activity that if your were at home, you would never do and try it on your cruise....sit with different couples in different areas of the MDR for dinner every night

 

If you are a sports fan wear your favorite team's jersey and go to the sports bar

 

On a full day at sea in the late afternoon go to the atrium bar, purchase a drink and strike up a conversation

There is no question going solo is not for everybody you have to keep yourself occupied and if you introverted it is more difficult. I go solo most of the time also but I talk to everybody.

We always bring pocket games along. There are 2 of us. Usually before we get done playing there is a group playing. One way to meet people.

 

We also love to people watch. Have our favorite spots on ships and just sit there and watch the people go by. Amazing what people wear, eat and say on a cruise ship. Some things are very shocking and others are just to funny.

Most of Carnival's onboard activities sound lame to me, and I'm glad not to have to pitch in (with higher cruise fares) for FlowRiders, rock walls, rope courses, and expensive theatrical productions -- considering better versions of these activities are available an hour or less away from where I live.

 

Fortunately for me, I use ship time to relax and get a break from work and from strenuous activities in the ports. But if I were looking for an abundance of great activities on the ship, I'd probably be evaluating the offerings of other cruise lines.

I too travel solo and usually have so much to do, I need a vacation when I get home!

Totally agree! I love doing nothing but laying in my chair and looking at the water!!
