If you are find yourself doing "nothing", it's' your own fault.
I recall on our Baltic cruise, on one of our sea days, we slept in late, had breakfast, and then DH and I decided to sit out on deck for about 30 minutes or so and then intended to go look for something else to do. We were sailing with friends and other acquaintances but not necessarily spending all day with them. But one couple passed by where we were sitting so they came and sat with us, had a drink, chatted for a while, then another of the couples wandered by and we dragged some more chairs over, then the third couple came by so we dragged a few more chairs over. A couple of hours later, more chatting, some ice cream, a movie, something, something, time for the early show, then get ready for dinner....... I don't know if we'd actually planned to do anything that day but we ended up doing pretty much nothing but that nothing took all day.
And on other at sea days on other cruises, we may be doing movies (in room, funnel vision, theatre), cooking demos, trivia contests, lectures (history, once with an imagineer, on animation techniques, etc.), reading in a cafe or lounge or on deck, listening to live music, alcohol tastings, spa, mid-ship detective, mini golf, gym, tree lighting ceremony at Christmas, various activities happening in the atrium, live theatre or other acts, dancing, surprise character interactions, pool lounging time, chatting to other guests, ........ We can have a lazy day, a busy day, a balanced lazy/busy day or whatever we choose.
