There's a Chair Waiting for You on Scarlet Lady

We couldn't wait until morning on our first sea day to explore more of Scarlet Lady.  The clear blue skies made for a great background for many of the images we captured.

Keeping up with their promise, Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady isn't your typical cruise ship.  As you can see in these images, there are many unique seating arrangements all around the ship.  Whether you want to relax alone, with your significant other, or a large group, there is something for everyone.

Personally, we enjoyed one of the loungers near the pool and hot tubs mid-ship.  There was some shade and it was close to the stairs / elevators so we could easily get around the ship from there.

Check out our photo album for more images around the public decks.

Celebrity Solstice - Poolside

The sun is shining, the temperature is warm, there's a gentle breeze blowing and you have the entire day at sea. This is the formula for a perfect day poolside.

Celebrity Solstice offers several pool choices. On the Resort Deck, the main pool area consists of a Sports Pool, Family Pool, and Wet Zone. The Solarium and Aqua Spa are forward from there on the same deck. Flanking the pool area are the typical lounge chairs you find on any ship.

What distinguishes the Solstice from other ships are the unique lounge chairs poolside. In addition to the typical lounge chairs, you'll find lounge chairs built for two that are secluded inside shaded columns that flank the Family Pool area.

Make sure that you go up the secret staircase to the Solstice Deck where you'll find an assortment of loungers including my favorite the oversized red loungers pictured above. These are perfect for catching some rays or simply relaxing.

Whether you are looking for sun or shade you should be able to find a chair to suit your requirements. Lay back, catch some sun, read a book, talk to friends and family, have your favorite beverage and just relax. The Solstice provides the ingredients for a perfect day at sea, it's up to you to complete the recipe.

NCL Dawn Bermuda - Sea Days

The sun shines into your cabin, you stretch, and decide to get out of bed. There is no rush after all since this is a sea day. As NCL's commercials say "You are free to whatever".

There are no set dining times, so you can have breakfast, lunch, and dinner any time you want (or skip any of the meals completely). I'll discuss the various dining venues in other posts.

For the morning people ... There are various fitness activities planned for the first sea day including Early Morning Stretch, Fab Abs, Pathway to Yoga, and of course, your own workout in the fitness center. For the competitive families, there's the Father & Son Baketball Tourney with the Sport Staff or Tiny Tots Baseball.

Pehaps you want to learn more about Bermuda and the things to do. If so, don't miss the Shore Excursion Presentation and/or the NCL "U" - Destination Bermuda.

If you are into gaming, there's Free Gaming Lessons in the morning and a Blackjack Tournament and a No Limit Texas Hold'Em Tournament in the afternoon or you can just try your luck in the Casino. Of course, don't forget about Bingo and Ships Lotto.

In the afternoon ... partake in one of the enrichment activities including an Art Auction, and NCL "U" sessions - Italian Wine Tasting, The Art of Making Sushi and Sake Tasting, Humor: Second City Before They Were Stars, Martini Tasting, or Beers of Europe Tasting. The "tasting" sessions have a $15 fee. There are several spa and fitness seminars to chose from.

There are more sports tournaments: Teen Hockey Tourney, Teen Soccer Tourney, Adult Only Volleyball Tourney, and Open Sports Play with the Sports Staff. You can even play Goofy Golf Putting with the Cruise Director's Staff.

The Cruise Director's Staff hosts various activities including Shuffleboard Tournament, Weakest Link Game Show, Win Lose or Draw, and Wii Tennis Tournament.

There's musical entertainment, movies, trivia, and much more to choose from. Or you can simply camp out on a lounge chair by the pool or read a good book in your favorite hide-away onboard the Dawn.

This is just a sample of the many activities onbord the NCL Dawn. You shouldn't be bored - there is something for everyone. So, go ahead and do whatever.
