But if the person they get to give talks or do classes is nothing you are interested in not so much. You have to be prepared to entertain yourself during the day if you are not a gambler or a sun worshiper. We had craft and painting classes on my cruise but the quality may not be there anymore. I have a friend who does art and craft classes on cruise ships, they are now making her pay for all the materials and making her pay for her husbands fare (at a reduced rate) So she is stopping because she can't offer a nice project under those conditions.


PS Also if your ship has art auctions beware they are a scam. The prices are outrageous and much higher than the same art in a gallery they use shills to drive up the price.
Thank you for the tips!! I am worried about the no of days on the ship. classes would be of interest to me if they offer quite a few. That would be fun. can't worship sun too much as the skin cancer is rapid. art classes would be fun - even just drawing and getting tips from an expert but I've never seen one offered.
