You may ask yourself: "How much can there be to do on a ship?" A LOT! Beside the shore excursions about 2-3 hours each day, the rest of your days will be filled with rich and colorful on board activities. You can do as much as you please! Most of today's cruise lines offer special entertainment areas so as to make your on-board experience as interesting as a land vacation. Many activities are set up by the cruise line, including welcome parties, Chinese Finger Boxing, cultural programs and dancing and movies . You can attend a Chinese Folk dance class, or learn to practice Chinese Finger Boxing. Evening parties offer dancing, acrobatic performances, jugglers, comedy, and even DIY games. Individual activities can be pursued as well. Maybe you'd rather sunbathe on a comfortable deck chair by the pool, go to the spa for a massage, or join your new friends for socializing and dancing. Most ships have facilities such as tennis courts, movie theatres, game rooms, card rooms, and libraries.
