Those days, the ship is docked at its next destination, say the Bahamas or perhaps Juneau, Alaska. While everyone else gets off the ship on tours, you should consider staying onboard. We always reserve one day of the trip to stay onboard at a port of call. This cruise tip works on all ships and cruise lines. With most other passengers off the ship, you have the entire vessel primarily to yourself. This is the perfect time to do several of the onboard activities and experiences you have been wanting to try all vacation. For starters, staying onboard is a great cruise tip and trick because it saves you money. You do not spend money on any excursions. You can use those saved funds to utilize the ship's facilities. If you are a spa person, this is the day to get that massage or try out the thermal suite. Your ship's spa is sure to have deals and promotions. Not to mention, you can sleep in and relax, as you don't have to worry about early morning tenders or tour meeting times. This might be the day to get room service or lounge around without worrying about getting seats at the pool. That's right, this cruise tip means using the lido deck will be hassle-free. Your perfect lounger is waiting, and there will be no queues at the bar. So, you don't have to deal with deck chair hogs. This is also the perfect time to take advantage of that cruise ship drink package, as there will be open bars with few patrons. With almost everyone else off the ship, you can use the waterslides, zip lines, sports court, or other attractions that typically have long lines on sea days. Just make sure to check the daily operating time. Also, some of those features might require reservations, so make those in advance so you don't miss out. This cruise hack will allow you to enjoy a leisurely lunch without the usual chaos of other passengers in the buffet or other quick service establishments. Staying on board is one of the cruise tips and tricks we use on almost every trip. Mainly, this allows us to get some videos and photos of those hard-to-shoot restaurants, entertainment areas, and pool decks. We often get asked how we get shots with so few cruisers, and now you know the trick! During your time onboard with the ship to yourself, you can use the gym or the jogging track without any waits or others getting in your way.
