•   Eat. Some would suggest this goes without saying. We need to eat to survive right so what is better about a cruise ship? Well cruise ships often have a huge range of different restaurants on board and will frequently change their menus to match the current location of the ship. Make the most of having some world class chefs all in the same place by trying out food from all the eateries.

•    Swim. The majority of boats have more than one pool on board where you can have a splash about, swim some lengths or sunbath on a lilo. The sun will be your to enjoy all day long as well due to fact there is nothing for miles around that will cause a shadow. Water flumes, wave-riding machines and water sports activities can be found on many boats and provide unlimited fun.

•    Casino. If you have never gambled before or you’re a seasoned card shark, you should defiantly check out the casino floor. You simply cannot liken the great atmosphere you find in a casino with anywhere else and it’s always one of the best places to get to know your fellow holiday makers. The Blackjack table should be the starting point for the uninitiated and don’t think you have to empty your pockets to enjoy yourself. Blackjack players are usually friendly and the rules are quick to pick up.

•    Bar. There will be a number of different bars all over the ship and some luxury cruises are all inclusive, so there is no excuse not to sample some liquid delights. The barmen and ladies make a million martinis a day but will jump at the chance to make something a little more interesting. Ask them to make some traditionally to one of the countries you’re visiting or let them make their favorite drink for you. Some of the things these bar staff can do with simple ingredients will astound you.

•    Shows. Cruise ships only book top quality acts to entertain their passengers so you’re certain to leave with a smile on your face if you book in for one of the evening shows. Ask the staff around the ship for their recommendations and cruise reviews. They have more than likely watched the shows a good number of times so will have the best advice around.
