Shipboard Activities When in Port?

[AugustWest]

Hi,

First thanks for all the regular posts, as a first time cruiser I have learned a lot and am impressed with the wealth of information.

Question- what types of activities are available on the Ship while it is in port, are there things you can take advantage of with less passengers on board?

The casino and duty free shops will not be open.

A coupla times, I have stayed on the ship at ports I've been to several times. I take full advantage of the almost empty decks. I enjoy the hot tub by myself, actually get to "swim" in the pool, and having my choice of sun worshipping areas! Nice, quiet, and relaxing, so I don't know if there are 'activities' going on or not.:)

There are some activities going on but of course not as much as on a sea day. There are usually good specials in the spa on port days. Get a massage, yea!
