    YouTrek Cruises
    I have never been on a cruise, it is not my cup of tea. I prefer to muck in and get to know the people and cultures of the countries I visit. On saying that I have many friends who swear that now they have been on a a cruise they will do nothing else but cruise. They loved the way they could relax or do sport or whatever they wanted when they wanted yet they could still be pampered and treated like royalty 24 hours a day if they so wanted. Like I said not my cup of tea but each to his own I guess.

    Activities aboard Princess Cruises

    What do you want to do today? With Princess you have the freedom to choose from an endless selection of activities tailored to suit your unique onboard experience. That's the beauty of Personal Choice. It's your cruise.

    Poolside - Swim and sun yourself multiple different ways onboard your Princess Cruise Ship. Relaxing amidst the tropical wonder of the Caribbean, under a retractable glass dome, on a quiet stern terrace above the rolling wake, or in a swim-against-the-current pool are just some of the poolside relaxation options you can choose from.

    Classes - From dance classes to cooking demonstrations, financial workshops to maritime history lessons, Princess' onboard programs are designed to make learning fun. In Alaska, naturalists and rangers present an insider's look at the state's wildlife and culture.

    Celebrity Guests - Many ships feature celebrity guests or experts in subjects such as astronomy, yoga, photography and a world of other disciplines, all ready to share their specialties with you.

    Library - We've stocked our ships with an extensive library, including contemporary titles in a wide range of categories and books related to specific cruise itineraries. You'll find books on art, history, sports, travel, health and wellness, natural history and reference materials. We have a fine selection of fiction and biographies. Princess onboard libraries have collections of up to 2,000 books as well as multimedia computers and music.

    Dancing, Karaoke & Comedy - We feature ballroom and line-dancing classes; you can be the star of our karaoke evenings, or take a backstage tour and learn the secrets of our award-winning production shows. Dance under the stars, poolside at our Island Night or enjoy the fun as our team presents their unique perspective during our 50s and Country & Western nights. A jolly good time is had by all as our Pub Night transports you to London, with its colorful custodians and conspicuous comedy!

    Scuba Diving - Always wanted to learn to scuba dive? On selected seven-day itineraries you can earn your certification as you cruise the Caribbean. Princess' unique New Waves program offers full P.A.D.I. Open Water scuba certification and snorkeling instruction as well as guided certified scuba and snorkeling tours, snorkeling equipment rentals and a variety of related retail items.

    Golf - For golf enthusiasts we offer Princess Links, our nine hole putting green. On our Grand Class ships, you can "play" on some of the world's best known courses in our Golf Simulators.
