Devmegsmum Posted April 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I will be going on my first cruise on the Carnival Valor in October:D. What would you suggest I not miss out on? What are your 3 favorite things, or "not so known things" :confused: to do on sea days? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moopig Posted April 29, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Take a highlighter pen so you can highlight all of the things you want to do on your Carnival Capers. There is always so much going on during days at sea! Take advantage of the free activities. We love doing the trivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treven Posted April 29, 2012 #7 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I like to sit out on the Promenade Deck with my iPad and read. Sit there and watch the waves go by, and check out the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calliopecruiser Posted April 29, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I've booked a transatlantic cruise for next year with 8 sea days, and I'm really looking forward to being in the middle of nowhere........ - Relax in a chaise with my feet up, a book, and some sunglasses to watch the waves - curl up in a chair in the lounge with a tall glass of iced tea and people watch - walks on the promenade deck, interspersed with naps and maybe a DVD.

caribsun Posted April 29, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I like to mess with the chair hogs by switching their belongings to different chairs and then sit back and watch the fun. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted April 29, 2012 #12 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Get a massage in the spa Read a good book Take a nap Maybe watch a movie in the cabin, that's 4 things It took me a few cruises to realize that whatever is happening onboard can be missed and not "missed" without feeling guilty. We don't have many days to just shut down in our life, a sea day is a perfect excuse to do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJ Posted April 29, 2012 #13 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Sleep in a bit. Play trivia, visit casino, play more trivia. Sit out on deck and read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted April 29, 2012 #14 Share Posted April 29, 2012 All of the above and check out the Tea. It's usually around 3pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted April 29, 2012 #15 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Take advantage of the extra time and read a book. Attend the seminars on towel animal folding and/or napkin folding. Or, try winning a free Ship on a Stick by joining in on the fun at the trival games. Best of all on the last sea day and try and reserve a spot on the Behind on Fun Tour if it is offered on your ship. It will more than worth the $99. to join in.

jocap Posted April 29, 2012 #19 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Art class, choir practice and lectures. Sometimes watch a film in the afternoon.....visit the indoor pool if it's cold, or the adults' pool if it's warmer. Go to the smoker's corners with my e-cig, and chat. Jo.

gubby Posted April 30, 2012 #23 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Everything or nothing at all. It is your cruise and your sea day. Be busy, be lazy, just enjoy your day to shut down if that is what you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devmegsmum Posted April 30, 2012 Author #24 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thank you all so much. Excellent advice all around. I will definitely be relaxing, reading, and not feeling guilty about doing nothing at all. Trivia sounds like fun too!
