I will be going on my first cruise on the Carnival Valor in October
. What would you suggest I not miss out on? What are your 3 favorite things, or "not so known things" to do on sea days? Thanks.

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.

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.

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. |

I like to mess with the chair hogs by switching their belongings to different chairs and then sit back and watch the fun.

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. |

Sleep in a bit. Play trivia, visit casino, play more trivia. Sit out on deck and read.

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.
