On board activities

Welcome everyone! This doc will list the great on-board activities folks have volunteered to organize during our cruise. Please feel free to join or organize any that interest you or your cabin.

To get your event or idea added to this list, simply post in the group or contact any of the admins. Thank you for joining in the fun, and happy sailing!

Lego Club

Contact: Elizabeth

How to participate: Bring an ocean-themed Lego build you want to work on during the cruise. No ideas too big or too small! All ages and all skill levels welcome. Bring loose bricks from home to build your design, or bring a boxed Lego set. Ships, sea creatures, pirates - the sea’s the limit.

When: Kick-off Meet and Greet on first sea day, April 10, from 10-11 am. Location TBD. Final Showcase gathering on second-to-last sea day, April 18, time and location TBD. We can arrange other meets for the other sea days as well. Come to one or all!

Shipboard 5k Walk/Run

Contact: Elizabeth

How to participate: All ages can pre-register through the facebook group (sign-up will be posted). Cost will be $20 via registration link - will cover a custom, color enamel medal on a ribbon or keychain (design will be posted in Facebook group), PLUS a donation to a non-profit that the group votes on before we sail. Have fun, be active, get some bling!

When: On any single day of the cruise, simply complete a 5k. You can walk laps on Deck 4, use the fitness center, or even just your personal fitness tracker. There will be a few dates/times posted in the group to get a big high-five and pick up your medal on board, plus delivery the last sea day if you forget to pick it up. (5k = 3.12 miles = 9 1/3 laps on Deck 4 = 7,000 steps)

Sea to Shining Sea Marathon Challenge

Contact: Sam

How to participate: Walk or run up to six deck laps a day, and by the end of the cruise you will have completed a FULL Marathon. Do more in one day or less. Do it in the morning with coffee or at night to wind down. Do it whenever you want. Run the CC5k and use that towards the goal. How ever it suits you and is fun. All ages welcome, and it is free.

I will provide a commemorative patch for all that complete with us. I will give completion awards to anyone who participates. I will deliver them on the last night before dinner.

Ornament Exchange

Contact: Jennifer and Jean

How to participate: You will be placed on a list of 6 cabins. You bring 5 wrapped ornaments to give to the 5 cabins on your list. You don't need to gift yourself as you will be the 6th cabin (unless you want to lol). During the week deliver your ornament to the staterooms and hang them on the hook outside the door (maybe place them in small giftbags as it will be easy to hang and nobody will see what it is).

It can be homemade, store bought, Disney, non-Disney, etc.!

Dapper Days At Sea Event

Contact: Elizabeth McKay

How to participate: A number of people who love Disney usually are aware of the Dapper Days that occur in the spring and the fall. For 2018 the spring dates are 4.21 and 4.22 at Disneyland, 4.28 and 4.29 at Disney World. Since we will be cruising during the Disneyland event weekend (and most people will not be getting to Disney World for the end of April), I thought it would be a great idea if we picked a day during the cruise that we are at sea for a Dapper Days event!

I would like to set it up for our 2nd formal attire cruise dinner night: this will likely be once we are on the west side of the Panama Canal, and during one of those 3 days at sea. We can have a Dapper Day the day BEFORE the formal attire dinner and the day OF the formal attire night. This way people who have fancy dresses that are not Dapper-ish can wear those to the formal dinner (and still have fun participating by being Dapper the day before) or people can choose to wear their Dapper wear to the formal dinner.
