Onboard on a Sea Day

It has been truthfully said that a cruise ship is a destination in and of itself. That's because there is just so much to see and so much to do onboard. What is so special about being onboard, especially during some of those sea days that are sprinkled through your itinerary?

Before you even reach your first sea day, though, you have the remaining hours of the first day of your cruse, departure day. Mere hours after the ship leaves port (really, any port), everything gets turned on. The casino opens and turns on faster than you can walk from the starboard to the port side of the ship! The shops unlock their doors to what they hope is hordes of millionaire customers, although that is never the case for them. After supper, the "Welcome Aboard" shows commence and seriously raise the excitement level of the entire cruise.

Once you get a full sea day onboard, it becomes an entertainment overload. There just is so much to do, you actually have to NOT go to one event just so that you CAN go to another event! The gymnasium opens early, as most do. And the stores and desks soon afterwords.

Mornings often create things to awaken you, such as games and contests, crafts, exercise classes, sports contests, seminars, and on deck musicians.

Afternoons lend themselves to many trivia games about different topics and in different formats, other participating games and contests, art auctions, dancing classes on deck, high tea, scavenger hunts, seminars and lectures, and other bits of musical interludes throughout the ship.

Nights onboard focus on group entertainment rather than participatory games, although there are some of those scattered in the mix as well. Contests at night usually have much more valuable prizes, often in the thousands of dollars. Performances are quite spectacular, often rivaling those of Times Square and Las Vegas. And there are smaller bands and singers, as well as karaoke, throughout the ship. Of course, the dance club is also open until the wee hours of the morning!

Yes, there ARE things to do onboard besides eat! Sit back and relax by the pool, or attend one of the hundreds of activities available when your cruise ship in at sea!
