The cruise lines like to call these, relaxing days at sea, which I suppose they can be, however the cruise director usually has other ideas with activities starting from as early as 8am.

You can join Pilates Classes, Walk a mile around the deck, take a swim in the pool, visit the well equipped gym, or what I prefer to do is have a lie on and a late lazy breakfast!

Then it’s time to catch up with what’s happening with the current book that I’m reading, perhaps take a stroll around the decks.

Before you know it it’s almost lunchtime and not having eaten for at least an hour, we’re famished and head for the lido café for lunch, then after a few cocktails in the sun, it’s time for afternoon nap.
After a fabulous 5 course dinner in the main restaurant it’s time for the evenings entertainment. This can sometimes be a full production show, a guest artist or even a gameshow or quiz in one of the alternative lounges.

Then it’s off to bed, ready for Sicily in the morning.
