Have dinner each night with my darling wife.

 

Listen to music and attend a show.

 

Enjoy the beautiful views from the ship.

 

I could list many more but I'll stop for now.

To these I would add:

Explore places and things of historical and cultural significance.

Interact with like-minded cosmopolitan travelers.

Scout potential locations for future extended land travel.

We are partially retired (we like to say "refocused"), so all that "relaxing" is sort of lost on us! We like to have things to do...not every minute, but options for fun things is a plus! We really enjoy live music, so that's a big factor for us.

For us it depends in the cruise. On some, it's all about relaxing on the sun deck or Beach, getting to know our fellow cruisers, and indulging in long, enjoyable meals then taking in the evening entertainment.

 

On others, the ship is just a place to sleep, shower, and grab something to eat. What we're most interested in, and enjoy most, are exploring and learning about the ports of call, in places we may never see again.

Sleep. The best night's sleep I ever got was on the old Celebrity Galaxy. I had an inside cabin down low in the ship. The pitch black darkness removed all concept of time passing. Lying in that little bed was like being rocked in a cradle. I had flown from the US east coast for a cruise leaving Vancouver, Canada. It is a three hour time difference. I expected to wake up extra early. I was so cozy in my floating cocoon, I slept through breakfast instead.
