If you thought a cruise was laying back soaking up the sun, for some on board it is more like a military operation, a test in time management and pure stamina. Some of the older folk on board would make a marathon runner look a wimp. Don't believe me, here is a sample of a typical days programme.
8am Walk a mile, yoga, Christian fellowship, Fab Abs, Art Class. From 10am Individual Quiz, Line Dancing, Deck Quoits, Learners Bridge, Shuffle Board Competition, Craft Class, Beginners Dance Class, Table Tennis Comp, 12.00 Form a Ships Choir, Beginners Spanish, DJ on deck, Film in Cinema, lecture Limp & Lifeless Hair? Progressive Quiz. Fit in Lunch. From 2pm Masonic get together, Whist Drive, Fluid retention and swollen ankles seminar, Classical recital. 4pm Short Tennis Competition, Total body conditioning, Discover acupuncture, Bingo, Golf Putting comp, Tai Chi. Individual Quiz. 6pm cocktail pianist Show in Theatre Thank you for the Music, Early Evening dance date, Comedian in Theatre, Pub Quiz, Dance the Night Away, Syndicate Quiz, Late Night Disco. Fit in four course dinner. Crawl into bed, shoot up with performance enhancing drugs to get through tomorrow. Honestly that is only part of the programme, this is not a holiday for the faint hearted, be warned, if you are contemplating a cruise go into training at least 6 months before you cast off!!!!
