The Final Lazy Days at Sea

Over the course of this vacation, we had almost two weeks of sea days all to ourselves on the ship. What, you may ask, do you do for two weeks on a ship? Well, there is so much to do that you might have trouble getting it all done! A common day for me might go much like this:

8:00 - Sleep
9:00 - Sleep
10:00 - Breakfast
11:00 - Read
12:00 - Movie
1:00 - Dodgeball
2:00 - Lunch With Ice Cream(as much as you want)
3:00 - Read
4:00 - Teen Club
5:00 - Get Ready for Dinner
6:00 - Theater Performance Amazing!
7:00 - Theater Performance Amazing!
8:00 - Dinner
9:00 - Dinner
10:00 - Movie
11:00 - Movie
12:00 - Dodgeball
1:00 - Bed

As you can clearly see, the ship is amazing and there is no lack of things to do.

What really sets Disney Cruise Line above other Lines however, is the crew. All of the crew from deck workers to housekeepers and officers to dinner servers always have smiles on their faces and cheerful hellos. The crew will always help you with anything that you need and are very fun to get to know better. Because we have spent lots of time on the ship, we have been privileged to know a few dozen of the crew very well and stay connected with them on facebook constantly. Overall, sea days are quite fun and are always full of fun activities. (Jesse)

After our stop in Stockholm, we had two days at sea to finish up our trip. These days provided great opportunities for socializing, reading, staying out late, watching movies, etc. I personally took the opportunity to watch the new movie Toy Story 3 four times in three days, read large amounts and eat enough ice cream to choke a horse. Jesse and I also were able to hang out, play sports and talk with the new friend’s we’d made over the course of the previous 10 days.

One of the highlights of the days at sea was the fact that our family was actually given a private, behind-the-scenes tour of the ship’s main theater, where all the large production shows, guest entertainers and first-run movies are shown. It was amazing to see the organization and intricacies involved in running a theater at sea.

After our busy schedule of ports, these two sea days were an excellent way to have fun and wind down before the end of the trip. (Jacob)
