A Typical Day at Sea on a Cruise Ship

It's Cruise Ship Saturday and we're talking about sea days!

I hear the question a lot.

"Will I get bored at sea?"

Only you know what amount of activity required to keep you from getting bored. Take a look at a ship's paper that outlines everything going on for the day. (You can find the Google doc version of the pages HERE.)

So what do you think? Will you be bored?

As for me, plop me in front of a window with my computer and I can write all day.
