After a briefing on safety procedures, you are strapped into a harness attached to a parachute and connected to a speedboat by a tow line. Then the boat tightens the tow line and rapidly gains speed, and in an instant you've taken off. All that's left for you to do is to delight in the ride and some of the most breathtaking vistas you'll see on your vacation. However, it is important to know your own limitations. And even if you're very fit, remember that a new activity might require muscles unaccustomed to exertion.
Light stretching before and after an activity can help prevent muscle soreness.
Should you feel stiff a day or two after trying something new, keep stretching those muscles until the soreness abates. Organized activities on board are a great way to meet fellow passengers, and the sea air is truly exhilarating. You'll also find that a little exercise every day can help to offset your indulgences in the dining room. Sunscreen is essential. Keep in mind that a sunburn, in addition to being uncomfortable, may have damaging effects that show up years from now.
