Activities on cruise ships have come a long way since shuffleboard. Now passengers want to keep busy at sea. Here I have found some excellent ways to pass the time which will help you decide which one is best for you.
Do you like the sound of bouncing around ?
then enjoy some stimulating acrobactics on the P&O Cruises family - orientated ship the Ventura. It has bungee trampolines and Cirque Ventura circus school where kids can try stilt walking, juggling and tight rope walking. It's described as the first circus at sea and is available for those aged 8 years and above. The bungee trampolines are open at specific times and are free of charge.
How about soaring through the air ?
Fly high on the world's largest cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas. Daring passengers with a head for heights can glide over the deck on the world's first zip line at sea, stretching more than 80 ft. The line is suspended nine decks above the ships Boardwalk neighbourhood, giving riders a birds eye view of the traditional carousel beneath.
Anyone not wanting to soar through the waves instead can jump on a surfboard on one of the two on-board Flowrider surf simulators. How amazing is that ?
Would you prefer to make a big splash instead ?
Norwegian Cruise Line's newest ship, Norwegian Epic, has a shipload of fun and frolics including an aquapark with three waterslides, offering the first tube at sea.
Youngsters can opt for the purple childrens slide that zips through the rock climbing wall or adrenalin junkies can opt for the green slide which twists down three storeys.
For ultimate kicks try the Epic plunge where riders on inner tubes plummet down a 200ft long tube to the vortex in the bowl. Here, forces keep you high on the wall for several turns until they zoom into the splashdown lane.
Have you tried any of these yet ? Let me know if you have.
