Welcome to Cruise Kings: Cheap Cruises & Exclusive Online Cruise Deals

You are unlikely to be bored on a cruise ship - there is something to do all day (contests, lectures, deck games) and most of the night (casinos, cabaret and production shows). The ship will have Entertainment Staff, normally lead by a Cruise Director, whose remit is to ensure you have a good time. But if you just want to relax, you can sunbathe with a good book. All of the days and nights activities are listed in the Daily Programme.

On days at sea especially, there will be lots of organized activities. Even if you are sunbathing by the pool entertainment is laid on - there are often bands playing on an outdoor stage area or competitions organised by the Entertainment Staff. If you want to be active you'll be able to participate in a variety of activities, depending on the ship, like cultural or port lectures, using the Internet, playing cards (Bridge is popular) and learning a range of skills from computers to flower arranging.  You can also improve your golf swing, pick a good book from the ship's library, shop for souvenirs and clothes in the onboard shops or see a recently released film in a theatre.

At night the lounges and bars come to life. Lounges will feature live bands and cabaret singers for your dancing or listening pleasure. Some nights the ship's theatre or showlounge will put on production shows with high tech lasers and videos on the bigger ships and costumed singers and dancers performing songs from West End or Broadway shows and popular hits. On other nights there will be featured singers, comedians and magicians. Some ships also have a separate Cabaret Room and British ships may put on plays as well. Karaoke, passenger talent shoes, Bingo and Quiz Games will also be put on in the lounges.

In the warmer regions, poolside dances and music are popular. Some Princess ships offer Movies Under the Stars and Ocean Village has a Cirque de Soleil type show on the lido deck. As the night moves on the Casino gets busier and many will end the evening at the Disco.
