We do have an exercise room that's used a bit, though not by me. Quite a few people aboard enjoy working out and took advantage of our layover in Astoria to get in a good run. In addition, there is the ping pong table in the main lab with its fiercely competitive tournaments. For the less physical, the lounge is a good place to relax. There are magazines, books, a large TV and numerous videos.
Bedtimes are virtually nonexistent around here.
While the ship's crew follows a specified routine with regular watches, it is different for the science team. Other cruises have split their days into regimented shifts but that is not the case here on the Atlantis. Depending on the haul, folks can be up all night examining water samples, limpets or data from an array of probes. In addition, to make wise use of the ship, activities, such as the CTD and SeaBeam projects, are scheduled for the nights. Once inside with the lights turned out you can't tell if it's day or night, and when I put my ear plugs in.
