One of the most important things I look forward to on a cruise are the fun activities that I can go to onboard the ship.  Those activities include, swimming, Bingo, art auctions, gambling at the casino, working out in the ship's exercise rooms, getting a facial in the spa, ice skating, playing a sport on the sport's deck, and of course eating.  Some ships also feature special activities like wine tasting and . Most of the activities that take place during the day are at the pool.  Some pool game include belly flopping contest and hairy chest contests.  The cruise ship is probably the busiest at night.  There are all kinds of things to do like karaoke, listening to music, and all the different types of show you can see.   You can see singing and dancing shows, variety shows, and comedy shows, all in the same night!  If you're up that late.  One of the things cruise ships are known for are Midnight Buffets.  They have huge ice sculptures and tons of excellent food.  People just go in to take pictures! Anywhere you are on the ship you'll have fun.
