When I look back at our recent cruises with our kids, and even further back to the cruises I did as a kid, I have to say that my favorite cruises are the ones with the most Sea Days.µ±ÎÒ»ØÍ·¿´¿´ÎÒÃÇ×î½üµÄÓÊÂÖÓëÎÒÃǵĺ¢×Ó£¬ÉõÖÁ½øÒ»²½»ØÏòÓ䬣¬ÎÒ×÷Ϊһ¸öº¢×Ó£¬ÎÒ±ØÐë˵£¬ÎÒ×îϲ°®µÄÓδ¬ÊÇÄÇЩ×ÉÏÌì¡£ The very best cruise was our San Diego/Hawaii round trip cruise because we had 4 and 1/2 days at sea before we arrived at the islands and then another 4 1/2 days at sea returning to the mainland.·Ç³£µÄ×î¼ÑÓÊÂÖÊÇÎÒÃǵÄÊ¥µü¸ê/ÏÄÍþÒÄÀ´»ØÑ²ß®£¬ÒòΪÎÒÃÇÒѾ4ºÍ1 / 2ÌìǰÔÚº£ÉÏ£¬ÎÒÃÇÀ´µ½Î»ÓÚÀ뵺£¬È»ºóÁíÍâ4 1 / 2ÌìµÄº£ÉÏ·µ»ØÄڵء£ The many days at sea gave us a lot of time for one of our favorite family activities: Family Board Games.Ðí¶àÌìÔÚº£ÉϸøÓèÁËÎÒÃǺܶàµÄʱ¼ä£¬ÎÒÃÇµÄÆäÖÐÒ»¸ö×îϲ»¶µÄ¼ÒÍ¥»î¶¯£º¼ÒÍ¥ÆåÅÌÓÎÏ·¡£
