The Cruise: Fun-Loving Brits at Sea Season 1 Episode 13 - Sea Day

Airdate: 2023-Aug-30

Episode summary:

It's day three of this week's cruise, and it's a "Sea Day". As the ship sails its longest route of the cruise, all the way from Gibraltar to Marseille, our cruisers get a full day to enjoy the ship's facilities. First time cruisers Beverley and Darren have planned a day of relaxation, as ship-phobic Beverley continues to ease her way into the cruising lifestyle. Their morning starts in the spa, with a couple's massage. By afternoon, a relaxed Beverley braves the open deck, to enjoy the delights of sunbathing at sea. As the sun begins to set, Beverly and Darren head to their first ever Formal Night. For the multi-generational De Rijk family, today is all about keeping the kids entertained. Their day starts in one of the ship's children's clubs, for a wholesome morning of colouring-in and family time. Feeling competitive, the family then try their luck at the ship's "Egg-Drop" competition, where hand-built contraptions are put to the test, as they are tossed from the third floor of the ship's piazza, for a cracking afternoon of fun. With Grandma Amina on hand to babysit, parents Mark and Samira enjoy a child-free evening at one of the ship's bars. Rosie and James, our first-time cruisers from Manchester, have never experienced a Sea Day, and they are keen to get involved in the ship's activities. They sign up for a boat building competition using everyday objects found on the ship. It's sink or swim time as the boats are then tested in one of the ship's pools, and judged in front of an eager audience. As Rosie heads below deck for some pampering, boyfriend James steals away for a secret mission - he's on the look-out for the perfect spot to propose whilst on the cruise!
