Sean7432 - when you say 'Transit' are you talking about time in the cruise, time on the ground during an extended turn-around or time spent in hotels awaiting your next trip?

The first two have been covered above.

If it is the lay-over time spent in hotels then feel free to do your own thing. The days of the crew party and crew outings are not gone, totally, but are much reduced, multiple reasons for this sad state of affairs.

On the subject of affairs, I have lost count of the times when a captain or FO said, "may not join you in the bar, I have an aunt/relative who lives here and I must see her/them, she/them expects it", very little chance the 'relative' is in any way a blood relative and is frequently of the opposite sex and about the same age as said captain/FO!
