Cruising is the latest vacation fad, and many people are choosing to spend their time away from home on a cruise ship. Here are some of the activities that a cruise ship has on board that you will surely love.
- Crazy Games - cruise coordinators come up with dozens of crazy games every year. They are designed to create a party atmosphere. They also help people get to know each other better. One example is a take-off on an old game show. The cruise game is called: What's My Job? People ask the subject questions about his or her job. When they get the answers, they try to guess the job.
- Casino - if you like casino games, you are in luck. Not only is the casino open all the time but it is also available on cruise ship. It is also filled with dealers who love to teach the games. This makes for a much more relaxed atmosphere.
- Physical activities - If you are an energetic person, you may want to take all your activities from this category. If you just want to keep in shape, you might try one. Sports on cruise ships are usually fairly laid back. People do not tend to be as competitive when they are surrounded by the beautiful open sea. However, your experience may be different.
- Luxurious living - A more sophisticated person will want a type of cruise activity that will include the arts and fine living. Even if this is not your only choice, you might enjoy a taste of luxurious living. Some of the activities are wine tasting, art auctions, and painting lessons. There are also afternoon high teas, cigar and cognac hours, and a cocktail party with the captain. Dancing is encouraged, and there are many opportunities to learn a number of dances, from Latin dance to waltzes. Some ships have guest lecturers, while most will offer theater, possibly Broadway productions. Music varies from disco with a DJ to a stringed quartet.
Another great thing about traveling on a cruise ship is that it is a great way to strengthen relationships with family and friends, or meet new friends. Spending time with your family and friends will help you to strengthen your bonds without having to worry about the typical stressors that come with a vacation. So take your choice of the different types of cruise activity, or choose some from each. If your cruise is like most, you will not have trouble finding something to occupy your time.
