Nap or No Nap??

[cuted126]

I usually don't nap,but it gets boring watching dh nap. Then I end up napping and I am usually glad I did!!

[hockeyluver]

I go out on the balcony and read my book while hubby has a little "rest" in the cabin

[chachi]

My first cruise I napped everyday. We had late dinning, and would take a nap before dinner. Now I nap if I need one, usually only on sea days.

NOWAY am I napping while on a cruise, only get to be on the ocean once, not to mention I might miss something going on inside the ship, I barely even have tv on to watch. I would much rather be out in the action. Besides I can nap on the long 8 hour drive back home.

 

LOL! They have tv's:confused:

20 minute power-nap outside on the lounge in the sun.

it's all I need :)

I took a nap everyday that we cruised! I loved the gentle sway of the boat and could stay up several hours later than normal! The only prob that I had was that we had an inside cabin and with no windows, I had no point of reference and it was hard to wake up. That is a very minor problem and easily solved with an alarm clock! Happy sailing!

With the kids coming with us this time, I have a feeling that hubby and I will be taking quite a few "naps" while we send them off to the kids clubs! :D

Same here . . . 20-30 minutes is all I need on a lounge chair on some remote deck. Sometimes deck 3, the deck off the Atrium, is ideal. Its close to the sea, can hear the bow plunging through the swells . . . its perfect ! ! awaken fully charged ! ! :)

Naps are part of Vacation.

I usually have a busy schedule and, a nap is something you don't get to do on a daily basis.

(is's called work)

So when I cruise I make sure it is part of my day. We do late dinner, so we make sure we come back to the room to rest-up for a fun filled evening.

No naps for us!

 

DH and I are usually up by 6-6:30 am (sometimes earlier) and don't quit til 1 or 2 am when we cruise.

 

I can sleep anytime at home, but I only get to be on a cruise for 7-8 days out of 365. No way am I going to spend that precious time sleeping more than 4 or 5 hours a night.

 

I'll sleep at work after the vacation! LOL

[Nunu]

Someone should ask this question on the Cunard board. :eek:

[ClevelandTNCruisers]

My name is Hal... and I am a cruise napper. I don't nap at home, but I am ready to shut my eyes after a few hours in the hot sun.

[patrice1]

Always, every day on a cruise - about 30 minutes before getting ready for dinner. Mine's on the balcony, DH's on the bed. Wake up refreshed & ready to go. One of the big advantages to being on vacation!:D

[Bunkie103]

We always nap on vacation. It's such a treat.:D

[theeviltwin]

I like to enjoy all the night life on the ship - and often will close the last bar open at night (early morning, whatever). Its nice to catch a couple zzz's on sea days to recharge.

[jeshghn]

I have had some of my best naps on Carnival! Unlike some other vacations, I use cruises to totally relax physically and mentally from a stressful life, this includes naps, Miami Vice Drinks, and reading in the sun for hours! I have travelled with various friends and we have the attitude of it's your vacation do what you want and we'll meet up later! Therefore no one minds if people nap!

[cruisetobeaches]

We 'nap' every day while on a cruise. Sometimes, we sleep, too..........:D:D:D

[H2OH!]

Nothing like a vacation nap at sea!! They are the best! :D:D

 

I nap in the room-nice, quiet, cold. DH prefers the balcony-warm with the sounds of the wave/wake.

[hill6]

I never nap at home but there is something about the motion on the ship that makes me want to nap every afternoon. Quick 60-90 minute nap. Great to restore the body.

[Nuttycruisegirl]

Nap every day around 4....Then get up and get ready for dinner....Love it! Sleep better on a ship than anywhere and I never get enough sleep at home, so it is a luxury for me:)

[Yvonne]

I usually like taking an afternoon nap a few times during the cruise, at least for an hour or so. Then I can stay up later. DH doesn't take a nap often, so he just goes and finds a quiet spot somewhere on the ship to read, or he'll go find a snack, etc.

[stay_or_go]

On some sea days, the kids go to camp carnival and we have a little 'nap'.:p

 

Nothing like a couple of hours in a sun filled room with the door locked and the do not disturb sign out!

 

oh yeah - finally double digits!

[G'ma]

I'm a napper......it's a pure pleasure.

 

Like many, when I was working, raising a family keeping a home and involved in a busy life, I used to long for the time to pile down somewhere for a nap..... Even on the weekends it was near to impossible.

 

Then, they grew up...and I became single....and career oriented. I could usually grab a nap on the weekend sometime...but not always.

 

Since retirement.....I nap almost everyday...sometime between 2 and 4..for a couple hours. What joy!!!!

 

I am, by nature, a night owl and always have been.... This led me to spend the bulk of my adulthood sleep deprived..... Now, I'm still a night owl, but that nap put an end to my deprivation.

 

I say "nap away".

 

On a cruise, I almost have to nap...for, you see, I love the nightlife - and love the sunrise...when I take a walk. So, an afternoon nap is almost a must.;

[JDCMN]

We absolutely love to nap!

 

The first few cruises we were on, we had no clue what the ship's nightlife was about since we were sleeping by 9:00 p.m.! :( (We're early birds and we're usually up between 5:00 - 6:00 a.m.)

 

So we started taking short afternoon naps and it opened up a whole new world for us. :)
