Sea days .... lots and LOTS of t

We're thinking about booking the 32 day South Pacific round trip cruise out of LA this October. The itinerary starts with 7 sea days, ends with 6 sea days, and has another 5-6 more sea days sprinkled in between ports.

 

We've only sailed Seabourn once and that was in Antarctica and the South Georgia Islands when there was so much going on each day between lectures, Venture excursions, watching for wildlife, etc. that we didn't have much chance to get restless ... but we're a little concerned that there won't be enough to do on all the sea days going to/from the South Pacific that we'll wind up with cabin fever. Before you even suggest it, we don't play bridge, trivia, or hang out in the casino. For those who have spent a lot of time at sea, does Seabourn step it up on longer itineraries like this to keep people engaged with other activities or are we likely to eventually get (dare I say it :eek:) bored?

 

Thanks for any feedback.

We had booked that cruise but due to some issues we need to handle will unfortunately not be on it - hoping Sojourn does it next year!! We have many sea days over our various cruises, which we very much like having done multiple trans-Atlantic and Pacific cruises. And we do not participate in trivia or bridge or knitting or ...

We enjoy the great service, sleeping in, finding a place to read things we wanted to read months ago, simply watch the ocean, attend a lecture / cooking demo, etc. But yes there will be interesting speakers, and special events on deck. Just my humble opinion but this itinerary to me is ideal, all places we love and easy embark disembark if you live in the US

We have never been bored on a Seabourn cruise no matter the length but your mileage may vary...

We just finished a 21 day Trans Pacific cruise on the Sojourn with one 7 day stretch of sea days. There was plenty to do. Besides the great service, food, events, etc., there were SIX lecturers covering history, world events, media news, whales, bears, and cooking - typically three each day. Entertainment was also amped up with two different shows each night and many shows during the day. Also many semi-silly games each day for SB prizes. Hardest working CDs I have ever seen.

 

Hey, you don't want it to be like a floating amusement park, but they did well with a full schedule on a 450 adult oriented passenger ship.

Likewise: On our recent Seabourn transatlantic my days were pretty well full with things to do. Eating, walking, websurfing, reading, eating, lectures, gym, watch the waves pass the veranda, eating, listen to the singers, see some of the shows -- etc etc. And I got my 9000 entry iTunes library relabeled the way I want it.

 

There are "crossers" and there are "porters". Depends what you want.
