Transcript:5 Fun Free Activities on a Cruise Ship

Hi, I'm Pamela French for About.com and today I'm going to show you 5 fun free activities on a cruise

Free Cruise Activities: Pool

Swimming and splashing around in the pool, is always a fun, free activity, and the place on board your entire party can enjoy.

Free Cruise Activities: Sports Court

Sports court activities like basketball, shuffleboard, dodge ball, etc. are another free and fun activity to keep you on your toes.

Free Cruise Activities: Fitness Center

Another physical free activity is the use of the ship's fitness center. Here, you can take advantage of the enormous gym on board, and for those who prefer a group setting, a variety of fitness classes - from yoga to spinning - are also offered throughout the cruise.

Free Cruise Activities: Entertainment

Every night there is free, excellent entertainment: performances in the theater, music in the various lounges, some with dancing, and even karaoke.

Free Cruise Activities: Staff Game Show

Lastly, the cruise staff puts on some variation of a game show with the guests, which tends to be very funny. You are free to sit and relax or get as involved as you want.
