If your solo, it's a great break from the world. You almost always can do what you want, when you want, except for the slightly earlier hours. Las Vegas used to be much better but since Covid alot of the late night places are still closed.

I just did a solo cruise for the first time half a month ago. I'm going to do a few things differently next time but I did enjoy it and would do it again. I was on the Marella Explorer 2 during sea days I found there was more I wanted to do in the evening than during the day but I made it work, I'd use the afternoon for naps or chilling out, they had some really good movie channels with recent releases at no extra cost, it wasn't on demand but I didn't care.

Sea days are the best part of cruising, they don't have all that chaotic boarding and off boardig and the atrium always has many events such as dance lessons and game shows. Also, sitting outside on deck is a lot cooler with the breeze from the ship moving

I took a cruise to Alaska for the first time in my life a few years ago. I wasnt even that interested in cruising but I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed. I thought it would just be eating, drinking and sitting by the pool. What I didn't realise was how many activities, lectures, shows, talks, classes, dances, lessons happen all through the day. It is impossible to get bored.

I've only been on one cruise and I honestly preferred the sea days. There's plenty to do on board and I love the water views, walking, entertainment etc...The ports mostly were too touristy for me - didn't care much for them. Usually wasn't worth the hassle of disembarking and reembarking, so I highly enjoyed this video featuring days at sea!

My favorite days on a cruise are sea days. I love being out in the middle of the ocean and seeing nothing but water. At night, if skies are clear, millions of stars are looking down at you. It’s really beautiful! Thanks for a great post! ✌🏻😉✌🏻

Absolutely amazing and thanks for bringing us along. I always wondered about “the fascination” of cruising - and can see, one can tailor the experience to suit themselves.

The best part of a ship is being out in the water. Doing floats and hitting ports was fun, but man I would spend hours down below looking out of the hangar, or down in the well deck with the aft open or on a catwalk, just watching the ocean as we steamed along. Seeing commercial ships or another part of the group would pop up, dolphins, trash, whales or just the wake of the ship. I know there's stuff to do on a cruise ship, but just enjoy the ocean and the humility it brings when you realize that even the vessel you're on is a speck on a blue canvas.
