Toddcan Posted March 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Do you take naps on a cruise? I'm not talking about a 10 minute cat-nap in your lounger at the pool - I'm talking a full minimum 1hr snooze fest , lights out nap. Could be on your lounger on your balcony, or in bed. No right or wrong answer, just looking for experiences and opinions. We will usually have at least one ~2hr nap during a 7 day cruise. Personally, I LOVE the feeling of waking up out of a deep-sleep nap realizing I am still onboard, and I am feeling super refreshed. I recognize others will say things like "I'll sleep when I am dead" or that they cannot use their drink package when they sleep... each to their own. 9 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmtska Posted March 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I haven't been on RC yet (JUNE!) but i've taken naps on cruises before. I like my sleep and if I'm tired, I'm not having a good time. Last year I fell out for a good hour on our balcony. Woke up more refreshed than normal which was nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser_1977 Posted March 8, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Yep! I don't nap at home. I get up early (7ish) and workout, eat breakfast then I may head to the pool for a few hours. Then often I'll take a nap before getting reading for the evening. If I'm doing an excursion I may come back, shower and nap. When I cruise as a vacation, it is primarily to recharge, rest and relax. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SummerBeee Posted March 8, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Rarely nap on land, had 3 good ones lately. Two on the suite sun deck on Harmony and Oasis. Took a good one in a hammock at CocoCay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No nappy time for us. Not even on a sea day. We feel that way each morning after a good nights sleep on the ship.

powelweb Posted March 8, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 8, 2023 When our son was young, we developed a nap habit as part of his schedule, but we've kept our afternoon siesta ever since. It helps us attend more nightlife events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missusdubbya Posted March 8, 2023 #13 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Nearly every day at sea 😁 I am an early riser, partial to some day drinking while on holidays and out late. We also like to have wine with our lunch while onboard, so it is a nanny nap every day after lunch for me! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetmama1 Posted March 8, 2023 #14 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Napping on board is the best! Gotta rest up so I can enjoy the nightlife. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basenji56 Posted March 8, 2023 #15 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I was on a transatlantic cruise last year (Oceania) where the guy next door decided that after lunch was the perfect time to practice his saxophone. Uh, no. After lunch is nap time. I had to complain to Guest Services and they told him to shut up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why could you only use it through Panama? I'm assuming Panama, meaning the canal...You had a 15 day itinerary through the canal? What is hooked on the railing of your balcony?

Is that a phone mount on the rail there? If so, mind sharing what the make and model is? It looks like an awesome little gadget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
