Shari2 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Guess I'm the odd ball here...LOL I'm a night owl at home...sometimes staying up all night till 5 in the morning. When I'm cruising, I usually get to bed by 12 or 1 A.M., and am up by 8. My last cruise I got more sleep than I ever do at home. It does take me about an hour and a half to shower and do the hairdo and all though, so hubby usually goes to get breakfast on his own and brings me back some coffee. We have all of our other meals together onboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmoten Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 It depends. If I am in my time zone, I usually keep my normal schedule but have nap time at some point. If I travel to a different time zone then I try to stay on mine (which is sometimes difficult to do). Seattle/Alaska through my body all off track and I came back with jet lag and I haven't had that in a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeCruiseToo Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 At home work can start at 5:00am or last until 4:00am – so there’s no set sleep schedule – and four hours a night is pretty normal. So I guess sleeping six hours a night on a cruise is part of what makes it a vacation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeCruiseToo Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 ... head up on deck for coffee and danishes ... I go back to the cabin for room service on the balcony ... and we head to breakfast ... That sounds like breakfast three times – you’re my hero!

ametrinel Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 It takes us years to save for a cruise. So wants to waste time sleeping?? Shari2 and Jan115 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to understand, I'm an Assistant Chef at an assisted living facility and feed about 100 residents per meal (that's 300 per day), sometimes working as the sole chef, so it's nice to have someone cook for ME for a change!!!! Besides, with all that food around, gotta try a bit of everything! WeCruiseToo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketwatch Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Like most others my body clock determines when I get up. For me work means up at 0430 or 0500 so on a ship I'm up early, not that early but usually by 0600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch27088 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 My usual wake up time at home is 5:00 am, so I am NOT going to get up that early on vacation. However, our internal body clocks sometimes will win, so if I do get up that early, I plan on ordering coffee and then sitting out on the balcony watching the sunrise.
