What is the best sea day activity on any ship?

[dcassetta]

The Marvel Day at Sea Deck Show (unless the cruise has a diaper dash)

I'll vote for afternoon nap followed by a few hours deck time before late dinner.

Disney trivia

We enjoyed it but I was shocked that there were just 8 people there. And this was on a sold out NYE cruise.

We love Trivia, strolling the walking deck, walking around the ship, visiting the shops, sitting on the verandah and watching the waves (and we've seen the dolphins which is awesome!)

My favorite is the cooking class. You sit and get (usually) wine and a sample and watch the chef make it. I think it’s called “You Can Cook”?

My first cruise, there were only a handful of people at the diaper dash. I just stumbled upon it and thought it was hilarious (though it lasted like 30 seconds with only 2 babies). The next couple cruises, were pretty sparse, too. Last cruise, it was packed, several levels up, though it was a rainy day. I was shocked at how crowded it was.

Also a big fan of the Mickey 500 veggie cars, though we were absolutely terrible at it.

Did my first cruise last November. Had no clue what Diaper Dash was. Totally would have overlooked it in the activity calendar. But Cruise Director Ashely hyped it up during one of the Broadway shows on the Fantasy. So we checked it out. It was hysterical. Half the babies did nothing. Others took off. One stood up and walked getting disqualified.

This! I have not seen it on a cruise, however, since 2019. Has it been on any cruise since then? I wonder if we can request it at the beginning of a cruise somehow? Anyone know? Hands down, best activity ever!!!

The photo I took upthread is from 2022. A 7 day Caribbean cruise.

Simply relaxing on the verandah with waves breaking and wind blowing watching the World pass by.

Bingo, Movie, last cruise they had a ventriloquist and beverage tastings. I use to try the spa but the last two times I didn't think the service was worth the elevated price so I stopped. One of these days we're going to try a bar crawl because there's always a bar we never get to enjoy the atmosphere.

Outside on deck 4 reading a book.

1. Coffee and beignets at French Quarter Lounge (a special on the Wonder)
2. Attending Good Morning Disney Wonder show in the D Lounge
3. Going to Anyone Can Cook with celebrity Chef John Ashton
4. Doing the photo scavenger hunt

We enjoyed these every sea day on our 13 night cruise.

They did it at least twice on last years WBTA (we watched once and participated once so I'm sure of at least 2). It might be a longer cruise thing.

It's the Mickey 200. We did it on our Northern Europe/Norway cruise in September 2023. It's one of our favorite activities.
We had a hilariously fun scavenger hunt on the Wish. You could only use things in the venue we were in.
