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.·í§Ú¦^ÀY¬Ý¬Ý§Ú̳̪ñªº¶l½ü»P§Ú̪º«Ä¤l¡A¬Æ¦Ü¶i¤@¨B¦^¦V¹C²î¡A§Ú§@¬°¤@ӫĤl¡A§Ú¥²¶·»¡¡A§Ú³Ì³ß·Rªº¹C²î¬O¨º¨Ç³Ì®ü¤W¤Ñ¡C 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.«D±`ªº³Ì¨Î¶l½ü¬O§Ú̪ºÉo¡¤à/®L«Â¦i¨Ó¦^¨µ¤|¡A¦]¬°§Ṳ́w¸g4©M1 / 2¤Ñ«e¦b®ü¤W¡A§Ų́Өì¦ì©óÂ÷®q¡AµM«á¥t¥~4 1 / 2¤Ñªº®ü¤Wªð¦^¤º¦a¡C The many days at sea gave us a lot of time for one of our favorite family activities: Family Board Games.³\¦h¤Ñ¦b®ü¤Wµ¹¤©¤F§Ú̫ܦhªº®É¶¡¡A§Ú̪º¨ä¤¤¤@ӳ̳ßÅwªº®a®x¬¡°Ê¡G®a®x´Ñ½L¹CÀ¸¡C
