Hubby and I love days at sea and the more, the better! We do love ports, but when there are 5 port days in a row it becomes too much. We've been on 6 transatlantics and will board Westerdam in Yokohama in 2 weeks for our first transpacific cruise.
The days at sea are a luxury for us. We can forget what day of the week it is, catch up with each other like we cannot do at home because we are both so busy (still working). We play cards, dominoes, and other games together (something we never get to do at home). We enjoy any lectures and shows that might interest us. We walk the decks, read, take naps, hang out with friends, new and old. We love enjoying our meals and savoring our coffee in the mornings. It never gets old for us.
