Entertainment

Many cruise lines publish a daily schedule of events, listing all of your entertainment options. It becomes the equivalent of your daily newspaper, delivered to your cabin every evening.

You will probably want to get a sense of what a typical day on board will be like before you sail. To see a sample daily events schedule, it's possible to call the cruise line and request a recent copy of the onboard newsletter. Some cruise lines also send out booklets detailing the daily schedules before sailing. Most cruise line Web sites list the entertainment options available on board. Both Holland America and Princess Cruises publish their daily itineraries on their Web sites.
