One of the best things about cruising is all the activities you can partake in. The cruise lines have a great staff of people working tirelessly to put together activities to keep you entertained morning, noon and night. From Art Auctions, where you can see some limited edition works, to Origami where you can learn to fold paper into a boat, or a hat,
to salsa dancing lessons.
There's also bingo,
Lots of different kinds of Trivia
and of course the casino.
For those sun worshipers amongst us, there is usually something fun to be found out on the Lido deck pool side. Whether it's a "Sexiest Legs" contest, or pool volleyball, you can almost always find something to have fun at!
Of course there are also plenty of places on the ship to relax, and get away from the crowd. Most cruise lines offer an "Adults only" area of the ship to unwind and enjoy some peace and quiet. Sometimes these areas cost a bit extra, but some people think the quiet is worth it.
Many ships also offer a library where many books are available to borrow during your voyage, as well as a game room, where you can meet up with friends, new or old, and play card or board games. There are usually jigsaw puzzles and word puzzles available as well.
It's not always just about the fun and excitement either. Sometimes the cruise lines will bring on experts in the destinations you are visiting, and provide you with a lot of interesting facts and stories, and offer some tips on what to look out for on your port visits. If you're taking your kids on a cruise vacation, they can learn quite a bit of interesting information to take back to their friends in school! Education while on vacation!
Whatever events you are looking for, you should be able to find it onboard the ship. Keep an eye out for your daily schedule, usually delivered to your room the night before, and plan out your day to make sure you get to do as many activities as possible!
One tip I always tell new cruisers, - make sure you take a highlighter (or 2 or 3 depending on how many people are traveling) so you can highlight the activities you want to do each day. You can get multiple copies of the schedule, and each person can highlight their own interests. It helps to know where someone might be found on the ship. - Bonus to that is the highlighters can be used as your Bingo Marker, if you're into playing Bingo! No need to buy one of the ship's markers!
