What do you think about four sea days in a row? (or even more???)

I have liked going to the ports, but now I am getting to love the sea days. Normally, I just can not shut down, always doing something, researching something, grading blah, blah. I do have to connect to my students while on a cruise but usually do it in the early mornings or right before supper.

I would love to do some consecutive sea days!

It's interesting.....some ppl love port heavy cruises and others love sea day heavy cruises. At this stage of my life, I prefer more sea days. I am a busy wife and mom, juggling two part time jobs and a hectic household. I may only get to cruise 1x/yr or 1x every other year. So, when I get to cruise/vacation, I want it to be relaxing and not too busy. Having those sea days built in helps to support my need for some time to just chillax. A transatlantic cruise would be right up my alley!

Love, love, love seas days. But I do agree with other replies, it does depend on the ship you're on.

We were on the Queen Mary 2 a few years ago. 8 sea days in a row, which we were really excited about. They were the most boring days on any cruise we've ever been on. No activities were scheduled, I guess that's because the median age of the passengers was 80!!!

Thankfully, there was an astronomer on board that gave a few lectures that broke up the boredom. The weather was fantastic, but no deck games arranged, we did have the outdoor pool to ourselves, but there were no waiters to get a drink on deck.

So although we do love sea days, we would make sure we were on a ship that catered for it.

We sailed from San Francisco to Hawaii and we were supposed to have 10 sea days but the ship had mechanical problem and we only got to one port. We were offered choice to get off in Honolulu and fly home or stay on for whole 15 days. 400 people got off and 2000 of us stayed on..Ship added all kinds of activities for us. We had plenty of food and they refunded us all our money. We had wonderful time.

My husband and I love sea days. We sleep late, go to lectures, have leisurely lunch, attend Tea, enjoy classical music program and aren't too tired to go to the late show.

Welcome to the forum. There are a few of "you Navy folk" here and it is great that you still like the sea enough to sail.

I like sea days, relaxing and more things to do than when in a port. I just kick back and hit the piazza (Princess) for the music, hit the other music venues, read some, do a talk, if the weather is good then do a MUTS, take in a show, plenty to do or not to do. Wife gets antsy after 4 days (Hawaii to Ensenada) without seeing land. On the other hand, I like in port on Carnival, the water slides are not as busy :)

Caveat : I am retired Navy, longest at sea time was 58 days back during the Vietnam police action, so a week is nothing.

Days at sea, Days at port....?? Who cares, you are cruising

We have done TA (FT. L to Europe) 5 days, smooth as glass. My question was where did they go, way too busy to miss land.

I think I would have to build up to it, so far only done two days in a row. I think I could do three no problem and four or five with some preparations. Would love to do a transatlantic cruise, but we will see.

I've done 2 days so far. For me 2 was good, any more might have been too much. I more of an active person and not one to sit around and just relax all day. I love at sea days, but I love a good sea/ports ratio, so I can get out and walk around.
