What is the best sea day activity on any ship?

...and why is the Diaper Dash?

The diaper dash is a baby race. It's very popular and creates quite a crowd. I never miss it.

I had a typo in there. I meant to say, "and why is it the diaper dash?"

I have yet to see them, but love seeing dolphins.

I get your joke. It’s the best due to the sideline betting. And hoping some kid goes off course or none of them move.

Drinking, swimming, trivia

(Adult) Trivia is my go-to cruise activity, any cruise line. Just don’t make it Disney-focused. The best audience participation topic is music. The 2000s night was packed and the young people were really lively.

My perfect sea day activity is similar. Since Dream and Fantasy are my favorites for this I'll use them in my example.

Laying on the side deck, next to Satellite Falls, with a view of the ocean. When it gets too hot, soak in SFs for a while...repeat multiple times. At some point take a break to visit Cabanas for lunch, then back to the lounge chair. By mid/late afternoon, head down to the Cove Bar for some refreshing Tropical Depressions...continue while most people are getting ready for dinner or the show. Maybe take a rest/nap back on a lounge chair before getting ready for late dinner.

But if you want an "official" activity, I'd have to say an early Palo Brunch (followed by the above described activities).

So on my last Fantasy sailing there was a child that could clearly walk who won (and was seen walking other places on the ship with their mom). It appeared they had been coached to crawl to the end and they did so in record pace with no adult waiting at the other side. It took all the fun out of it

Here’s a photo of Jack’s Diaper Dash! Hardest part is recruiting enough willing babies “of a certain age” and temperament.

Hands down the diaper dash. Why? Babies are cute and fun especially when you’re not the one getting woken up at 2am.

Something I liked doing on the longer cruses was taking the ship tour. I remember one time they put the wrong start location in the navigator and the person giving it was a bit confused about it. Normally they would start at Palo and work there way down to the theatre area, instead it was put meet at preludes instead of Palo

I have read a ton of the Damon Runyon Broadway short stories (the inspiration for/basis of Guys and Dolls). While I was watching the diaper dash, it felt like I was hearing whispers of betting, which I just chalked up to my overactive imagination and too many Damon Runyon Broadway short stories.
