Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted April 17, 2016 #26 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Having just returned from my first River Cruise, I can say most everyonewas off the ship during the day but you definitely have the option staying on board. They don't have activities offered though.......I would say to bring a book/ kindle/or if you enjoy crosswords or that type of activity. Or if you just enjoy sitting and watching the scenery/napping you can do that as well. Just be aware that the boat may not move while everyone is away, or may just do some technical maneuvers (exciting stuff like emptying the bilge :eek:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted April 17, 2016 #28 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Just be aware that the boat may not move while everyone is away, or may just do some technical maneuvers (exciting stuff like emptying the bilge :eek:) LOL that too......:eek:;)...... I became friendly with a couple from South Carolina while on the cruise. She has an auto immune disease which tires her out VERY quickly..... I know some days hubby would do a tour and she would stay on board and nap.....so you can do whatever you want:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNPlease Posted April 17, 2016 #29 Share Posted April 17, 2016 We just enjoyed a halfsies kind of day morning on the free excursion and then after lunch we just hung out..watched a movie in our room while looking out our window and taking a little rest (the ship did not move) and then went back into town via a tram for a hour or so t a local museum. We just skipped the optional excurisons and had a grand time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll do the free excursions and can rest, as needed/desired, or walk into town during our free time. It will all be new, interesting, and exciting to us!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Got2Cruise Posted April 17, 2016 #31 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thankyou everyone, We have decided for the time being to stick to the sea cruises. Thank again. The Amsterdam to Basel itinerary is one you might consider in the future. There is an entire day of just cruising along the river on the Rhine Gorge. If you choose your cruise line right, you will be parked in towns such as Cologne, Rudesheim, Mainz, so if you stay on board, there is pretty scenery to look at.
