Port days there realy is not a lot of need since most people head ashore but a lot of what follows is still on.

Sea days the dance classes,fitness classes, quizzes, there is usualy a cinema program, bingo, shopping, indoor games, lectures, and don't forget food demos and eating.

on the new NCL ships there is bowling, RCI have ice skating

I often have trouble fitting it all in.

What else are you thinking of?

....and maybe they should arrange some protection in case a plane drops out of the sky! If we are that worried about it we could always stay at home, let's not give operators another reason to whack up the prices!

if we wanted to stay indoors all day on a ship we whould book the isle of white ferry

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. I'm surprised SMand's comment got past the moderator, and madasharley's weren't much better.

This was a serious question.

Windjammer. Most of that sounds quite energetic. I was thinking ONLY of sea days, and more of somewhere comfortable to sit with something to look at. There seemed to be a bit of a problem when we were on the Navigator, the decks were too cold and windy for most people, the few comfy chairs got taken early, so a lot of people would sit in the Windjammer, causing problems for the catering staff. It made me realise how dependent cruises are on deck loungers.

Hi,

We were on the Navigator trans so a lot of sea days and most were far to windy to go outside even down off the Florida coast.

Plenty of places to hang out during the day, not in the windjammer. if you just want ed a quiet space to chat or read a book.

All the bars had seating.

Did you try going up to deck 14 the 19th hole bar was empty every time I went past. Boleros was usualy quiet as well an had windows.

(best to ignore posts that don't add value)

We haven't done a transatlantic yet. We liked the 19th hole and the bar next to it, but couldn't find seats there very often. We've always sailed on ships with a lido deck, which has been the hub of daytime activities, and maybe that's what we really missed.
