What's your bed time when you cruise?

I am an early to bed and early to rise. Every time I cruise I have plans to go to all of the parties and live it up for once. But, I never make it because my circadian rhythm dares me to defy it. This time I'm really really really going to AT least go to the glow party and the 80's party. I just wonder how many people are still out enjoying cruise night life when I'm snoring by 11:30PM.

What's your bed time when you cruise?

Usually in our cabin by 10 and in bed by 1030. But I'm up at 6 and my wife's up at 7.

I'm pretty much an early riser so I'm pretty much exhausted by 11 pm.

Bed time? On a cruise??

Sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about.

My wife and I always say we are going to go to the late night parties, shows etc but it never happens. Always Asleep by 10. It is so bad that when they used to have the traditional midnight buffets we had a wake up call to the cabin so we could go.

We usually don't do the late night party's. As much as I hate to admit it I am at the age that I NEED to get my rest if I'm going to go all day. Never thought i would feel that at 49 y.o. i would be saying need my sleep. Even if going all day includes lounging and drinking by the pool. :) We will be on the POA on the 11 of Oct. which is a very port intensive cruise. I hope my body can keep up!

Take an afternoon nap on the days you want to absolutely stay up late- I have trouble staying up on a cruise- the nice motion just rocks me to sleep, so I schedule dinner, the show, and whatever is EXCITING (no violin music, thank you) to keep me up and going until whatever party.....:D

When I'm solo usually 10ish. When with family or others late! But always up for sunrise!!

This past week we were up at 6am for room service and watching the sunrise. Then in the cabin by 10 and asleep by 10:30

We always say that we are going to stay up and hit the parties, but we usually don't end up making it that late. :o But we are going to have more sea days than usual on the Getaway, so maybe we will be able to this time. :D

It depended on the night, what we did during the day, and the next day's activities and desired wake-up time for us last week. Some nights we were out by 10 or 10:30, others we stayed up until midnight. Neither of us had any interest in the late night parties, we just enjoyed sitting on our balcony with a book, tea, and each other.

And no, we are not 70-somethings. We just act like it sometimes. We like our peace and quiet, both of which we found plenty of during the cruise.

Oh thank goodness. I thought we were the only ones who crash and burn early. We've been on eight cruises and every time we say we are going to stay up and go dancing at one of the clubs and every time we end up asleep before then.

But....we are cruising again in January and this time we are going to stay up and go dancing. We shall see.

Very late.

Haha I totally agree. Usually to bed after midnight and up when the gym first opens in the morning around 6am depending on the cruise line.

So I see there is a trend with Mr. Sandman winning the final battle between the desire to party and the need to sleep. I'm also glad we aren't the only ones. My husband grew up on a farm so early to bed early to rise has always been his way. I, on the other hand, was used to waking up to loud sea lions at 6 in the morning so I learned to go to bed early because there was no sleeping in once the sea lions decided it was time to get up.

I have been on 3 cruises and we always say "gonna stay up late" and never do. I am going to try the nap advice on the Epic in November!

When we go to North Myrtle Beach, and go to the dance clubs, we stay up late every night. On a cruise, the music isn't normally that exciting, so we hit the hay around 11-12....

I choose to retire early and rise early to hit the gym, shower, have breakfast and go to trivia. It is what I like to do. So I do exactly that. Let others party the night away if that is their idea of what they desire in a vacation. Isn't it great a cruise can appeal to all of us?

They have a gym on the ships? Who knew...

The beauty of an inside cabin....its always dark when you turn out the lights. 1pm or 1am doesn't matter. :D

We went on this cruise last November. It was awesome but I think the latest we ever stayed up on that one was 11pm! Even my 24 and 26 year old daughters (who are always up late partying) couldn't stay up past 11 :). I asked my girls if they wanted to go to the white hot party since they usually go, but they said no...too tired! We were up and moving early every morning. It's a great trip! Enjoy!

Usually out until 1 or 2am, then back up around 9am. There is always one day on every cruise where I just pass out at like 9pm though. That's what vacation is all about!

Anywhere between 2-4am.

It totally depends. On Epic Med last year, we had so much to do we were in bed by 10pm or so. There was also little going on at night.

In May on BA, most nights I was up and out in the casino, a bar or a party until around 1am every night. 3am 1 or 2 nights. So fun! I loved my quiet dark little studio room! On BA again in November- family trip and I am not looking forward to,sharing my room! LOL
