Choose a Cruise: It's My First Cruise - What Cruise Ship Activities Can I Expect?

By Steve Schulman

Maybe you're going to book your first cruise and you're wondering what cruise ship activities there are to look forward to. Each cruise is different and there'll be different cruise activities onboard. It depends on both the cruise line you book with and the ship you'll be voyaging on.

The easiest way to check is to either get directly in touch with the cruise line or take a look at the paperwork that comes with your cruise information.

Cruises area about having fun and relaxing.

Aside from the cruise entertainment and the cruise food, which are common to just about all cruises, there could be different classes, shows, dancing, and much, much more.

Whatever ship you take there will probably be more than enough cruise games and cruise ship activities to keep you occupied for the length of your voyage.

Make sure you're going to get what you want

If there are specific things you want to do on a cruise you'll definitely want to get in touch with the cruise directly or speak with a travel agent.

If you know what you're looking for or want some ideas, a travel agent should be able to help you and then book the cruise that meets your needs.

Or, if you get in touch with the cruise lines directly, they can help you find the specific ship that has the cruise activities you'd like.

For example, if there are a number of swimming pools on one ship there might be swimming classes. But never assume that a ship or a cruise line has the cruise activities that you want. It's much better to find out before you book your tickets rather than be disappointed.

Remember that your tickets could be non-refundable. So make sure that you know exactly what you're going to get before paying for your cruise by check or putting it on your credit card.

Sometimes it's okay to wing it

If this is your first cruise, unless there's something you really want to do, it's probably best to just wing it. You'll probably enjoy the cruise ship activities that any cruise line offers. Cruise activities are there to help you relax and relieve the stress in your life. They're designed to be fun and frivolous.

There's going to be a lot to do, plenty of new people to meet, and a lot of time to relax and enjoy yourself whatever cruise you choose. Just go ahead and have fun and get ready for a lot of fun and exciting cruise ship activities.
