Activities available while docked

[KimA75]

I couldn't think of a way to conduct a search without getting 50 million returns.  I am debating about staying on board with my kids while at Cozumel on our next cruise.  They will be 14 and 10.  It is mainly that we have been there a few times and have seen just about everything we are interested in.  I am wondering what activities are typically available while a ship is in port.  This would be our first time staying on board.  It will be Icon, so I know there is not a lot yet known about this one.  But, on Oasis class and others- are the slides or Flow Rider available?  I am assuming the pools would be open and the shops and casino are closed.  I never paid much attention to the cruise compass before when we were in port since we were getting off.  Are there planned activities and games?

There are just as many activities on port days than sea days, other than like you said the casinos.

Shops, the casino ad maybe a couple bars will be closed. The ship does not shut down. Most other activities will still be available. Open the app and look at the scheduled activities for any current cruise. That will give you a good idea of what you can expect to happen on your cruise.

We've been to so many of the ports now that we actually prefer to stay on the ship because it's empty. The waterslides, flowrider, rock climbing, just about all activities are still open, but with no lines.

Things like slides may not open until 2.  As cruiseguy suggested, use the app to select a current sailing of the ship you are interested in and you can see what is available on that cruise.
