Waterslides
It's a great way spend a day on the seas with water slides aboard cruise ships. They are a standard feature on many of the largest lines' ships. Royal Caribbean, for instance, added a 800-foot-long "watercoaster," to Navigator of the Seas. In the past five-years, almost two dozen giant water slide have been added by Royal Caribbean to its ships. Royal Caribbean's ships did not have any in the early 2016 season. By the end of 2016, all but one of the company’s ships had one. MSC Cruises as well as Norwegian Cruise Lines have also added water slides to their latest ships.
Aquaparks
Aquaparks on cruise ships have grown in popularity over the last decade. Royal Caribbean Cruise Line is one of many cruise lines offering water parks. The lines have been adding water slides, rock climbing walls, ice-skating areas, and more since 2005. And in 2009, they launched the new "H2O Zone" aqua park, with two FlowRiders.
Gyms
It's a great way for cruise passengers to get in shape, and cruise ships offer a gym. You will find a variety of cardio equipment, exercise machines, and great views of the ocean from these gyms. Some ships offer Zumba and weight training classes. LCD screens can also display different workouts.
Games
Fun games can be enjoyed on cruise ships. Some cruise ships offer an opportunity to spend time with friends and family, while others are jam-packed with activities. These games can be a wonderful way to have quality family time.
Dress casual outfits
There are many entertainment options on cruise ships, including Broadway musicals and acrobat shows. Guests can also enjoy live comedy acts such Lewis Black or Kathleen Madigan. Although most cruises can be dressed casually, special events may require you to wear something more formal.
Art auctions
Onboard art auctions are a common feature on cruise ships. While these events are fun for art lovers, you need to take into account a couple of important factors when purchasing art from them. First, the price paid for a print at an auction on a ship's art gallery may not reflect the true worth of the work. Many shill bidding participants participate in art sales on cruise ships in order to artificially increase the cost of prints and receive a complimentary print from the gallery.
Specialty restaurants
The unique menus of specialty restaurants on cruise ship ships are created by some the most renowned chefs. Some offer a fixed price, while others have la carte options. The ships that do not require reservations allow you to dine as often and as often as possible.

How To
How to avoid seasickness while on cruise
Wearing a hat on a cruise will help you avoid getting seasick. A wide-brimmed head hat can prevent motion sickness. It keeps the head still and helps keep it from moving.
A hat also keeps water off the face, reducing the air's moisture. This makes breathing easier for people prone to feeling dizzy when they breathe in moist air.
Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate the body causing more fluid to move around in the stomach. Drinking enough liquids will help reduce the amount of salt in the bloodstream. Salt causes the body to retain water which leads to nausea.
If you do feel nauseous, try eating something salty. Salty foods increase the production of hydrochloric, which helps to break down food.
These tips may not work. There are other medications that can be used to treat seasickness. Be aware that some medications may have side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and headaches.
