So, I'm going on a cruise for Christmas with my family. We are going to the U.S. Virgin Islands, I'm very excited. This isn't my first cruise, but, its my first cruise that I'm older than the clubs (17 and below), so I don't have planned things to do. So what do I do? I'm not much into sitting by the pool and relaxing, I always like doing stuff, but my mom said I had to relax and read and tan by the pool. So, I guess that's what I'm doing, does anyone have any good books to read by the pool? I read just about anything, so all suggestions are welcome, also, what is something else I could do and still relax that is free?

You could learn how to crochet----it's EXTREMELY addictive / relaxing:

http://www.amazon.com/Crochet-Learn-Gre ... tz+Crochet

EVERYTHING you need comes with the book!! I would suggest, however, stopping-by Wal-Mart----or, some such place----and getting a big skein of LIGHT-colored yarn (like, Baby Blue----really BRIGHT colors, in the sun, will kill your eyes, but you want to be able to see your mistakes) for, like, 2 dollars and 20 cents, cuz you don't want to mess-up the yarn that comes with the book----you'll wanna save that for a scarf (which you'll be able to make by the end of the cruise).

If you like "Medical Thrillers", or "Medical Mysteries", I recommend:

http://www.amazon.com/Acceptable-Risk-R ... k+by+Robin

It's written by an M.D., but it's fiction, and FABULOUS!!

Also, if you love Psychological Thrillers, as I do, I recommend: "The Scarlet Mansion" (my computer went wonky and I couldn't getcha the link, for this one). It's set in the 1800s, and is about a guy who lures women to his house and kills them.

As for "free", there's always TONS of shows, and games onboard!!

Have fun!!
