Activities on board Rhapsody

[Tania Grange]

I’ve been on the app looking at previous sailings to see the type of activities on board.  There isn’t a previous Greek Island sailing which docks pretty much every day.  On days where the ship is in port all day, are there activities like cookery demos, exercise classes, complimentary beauty treatments plus music from the bands for people who don’t wish to get off for the day?

Usually no. At most on a port day you will have trivia. There are also rarely any cookery demos on ships. If your sailing isn't an Eastern or western Caribbean sailing, I believe you will have even less options on port days.

Agreed with @Ampurp85.  Normally, there will not be much in the way of organized activities beyond trivia, with an occasional and somewhat minor exception being for certain ports that are materially less popular than others (whether your cruise has such a port, who knows).  Most of the common areas will be open as normal when the ship is in port, such as the pool, and the spa will be open for paid appointments (nothing complimentary that I've ever been aware of), but other than trivia you might not find much in the way of organized activities.  There won't be as many dining options while the ship is in port, either, and you can expect the casino to be closed.

Won't be exact but it will give you a general idea what is available during Greek port days.

We found on sister ship, Vision, that music started later, about our early dinner seating. So the main activity is getting to the pool or solarium when everyone's ashore.

Since most cruisers will be ashore during port stops, it wouldn’t make sense for them to offer much in the way of activities and entertainment during that time. They want to encourage people to get off the ship at the ports, not encourage them to stay onboard.

On my sailing last year (7 night Greek Island Cruise on Rhapsody) they had trivia, movies and music. They also usually had exercise classes, but early in the morning. I don't know if you want to get up early if you aren't disembarking.

Thanks all, looks like we’d better get off then
