Ship Activities

[Monnie]

Iam going onthe Explorer in March.Some one told me that there was scrapbooking on the ship.I was wondering if this is true and if it was ,is there a fee for this?Do they supply the stuff or do you bring your own? I was just wondering on how this works.

My wife was wondering how this worked as well. They definately have scrapbooking available, I have seen a copy of the compasses from this January and they listed scrapbooking. There was no information at what was involved. Anybody know how this works?

They bring in a "scrapbooking expert" who gives a class or two throughout the cruise. The class was free but I think you had to buy the materials to do it?? They did supply the equipment (scissors etc...) I don't know for sure since it was my wife and girls that went.

They do sell a scrapbooking kit in the photo shop that is great for scrapbooking your cruise. BUT my wife didn't buy it the first day and they had run out by the time she had decided to buy it (after seeing the scrapbooking course in the compass). So if you are interested, buy it the first day so you have it.

Hi I did the scrapbooking sessions on Navigator last year. They provided all of the equipment and papers etc and everything was free. The type of thing your could do was creating a scrapbook page of your cruise and how to record all of the keepsakes. We did this on a couple of days and by the end you had completed a couple of pages. What was really good was that they had cutouts of the RCI crown and anchor symbols etc which you wouldnt be able to do yourself.

My wife and I should try this on our trans-atlantic cruise. It makes sense to do a little every day instead of waiting til the end of the cruise. Sounds like a rewarding activity.

I just can't see it, Sonny in there scrapbooking with all the ladies. They'd have to tie me to a chair to get me in there. Bring your laptop Sonny, you can produce a post of your experience to tell us about it, you won't get a word in, so you might as well type.

Cheers, Neil

Man, me too. Perhaps they could put the husbands off in a side room with a keg of Bud and some hot dogs. That'd be the only way I would stay there.

[TrvlPro]

I volunteer for the keg and hot dog room duty!

Cheers, Neil

I think some lines have scrapbook theme cruises. Not my cup of tea but obviously it is popular.

My WIFE should try this!
