Play Your Trip

Nothing you can do on land compares to a vacation at sea. Life onboard a ship is so unique it just can't be experienced anywhere else. A few days of gliding through sky blue waters and the sun on your face are almost certain to give any passenger a new lease on life.

Aboard the ship. entertainment and activities are high-quality and countless. Most entertainers are onboard for the full cruise offering a chance to meet and get to know them. Many ships have a full orchestra, an instrumental and singing group, dancers, singers, comedians and specialty acts. Activities include deck sports such as basketball and table tennis, swimming, exercise classes, a golf driving range, bridge/dancing/snorkeling lessons, sauna and massage, tours of the ship, and financial seminars, to name just a few. Or, you can spend the day with a crossword puzzle, board game, a book from the library or simply snooze in a chair out on deck. It's all up to you.

In most ports, your ship will tie up right in town or a short tender ride to the town dock. Exciting things to do in the Caribbean include visiting Trafalgar Square and sampling local specialties (filleted flying fish and Mount Gay Rum) in Barbados. You can also tour the only half-Dutch/half-French island in the world in St. Martin, drive in a tropical rainforest in Puerto Rico, and buy luxury goods from all over the world at hard to believe prices in St. Thomas. In Nassau, if you can tear yourself away from the casinos, visit the incredible Straw Market, the exciting Pirate Museum and watch the "military" marching flamingos. And in Bermuda, play the emerald courses of the island with more golf per square mile than any other country on earth.

And from the time of the first whistle at bon voyage until the last goodbyes at dockside, you are somebody special - and the shipboard world is your oyster. You unpack and relax in one place for your entire vacation - a blessing when you consider the many uncertainties and delays in today's world of travel. No luggage limitations. Dress as you like. And how nice to step onboard and let the ship's staff handle things while you relax an enjoy yourself, without a worry in the world.
