Ignore the calendar—today is the day for us all to celebrate every holiday all at once! (Honestly, it's just more efficient that way.) Take the day off work and sleep in, have some turkey, give out some presents, dress as Santa or Jack Skellington, call your parents, and more. Whatever a holiday means to you, have at it!

Qigong is a gentle, movement-based meditation that anybody can do to stimulate your ‘qi’, or energy for the day. Join Andrea Hildebran Smith for an hour of exercises from the Flowing Zen school of qigong. We’ll learn the Eight Pieces of Brocade series and enjoy practicing them together.

If you need information, well heck we have information! Come here for any JoCo Cruise-related questions or issues you may have. If you have questions or problems relating to the ship—your cabin, billing, etc—please go to the ship’s Guest Services Desk, located on the opposite side of the Atrium on Deck 1.

In historic fashion the uke players on the ship will be meeting and playing together each morning! All levels welcome! We are happy to teach.

World 9 Gaming staff are on hand to assist in browsing the video game library. Outside these hours a limited number of consoles will still be available.

Do the words Holo Taco, OPI, Mooncat, or Essie conjure sparkly visions in your brain? If so, bring some of your fave polishes (and top coat!) on board and meet others who appreciate everything nail-related. You can also get tips on easy nail art to do at home!

The port side of this restaurant is a dedicated "quiet zone" for our attendees who may wish to use it. Please no gaming, meetings, loud conversations, etc. Look for signs pointing you to the correct entrance and tables. (Note: JoCo Cruise's morning meeting with the ship's staff occurs in this space at 9:30am; it's usually finished by 10 am, but some mornings it may run a few minutes overtime. Thank you in advance for your understanding and flexibility.)

A visit to Cabo San Lucas on a mission to find several nearby Geocaches and attend an official Geocaching event, where we will hopefully meet some local cachers. Please join me at 11am at the tender boat drop-off point for a half-hour meet & greet, followed by some Geocaching.

Centuries ago, the Dark One shrouded the world in perpetual night with their Eclipse. They were defeated, and you believed they would never return... You were wrong. Somehow, the Dark One has returned. Megagames combine the elements of board games, role-playing games, and live action role-playing games (LARP) into a game where every player can affect the developing narrative. Touched by Darkness can handle between 15 and 47 players. Signup sheets will be available on the door of cabin 4160, priority goes to players who sign up in advance. (This is ONE BIG EVENT spread over two rooms!)

Have you ever wanted to find a way to breathe new life into some of your favorite games? In this beginner-friendly workshop we’ll break down what a randomizer is, what software is needed, and discuss some basic gameplay tips. You’ll learn how to generate your own randomized seed and we will play a game together. A small number of laptops will be available but players are encouraged to bring their own.

The starboard side of the Lido Marketplace will be designated the "quiet side" after 9 pm. Other than at the designated 24/7 gaming tables in the aft section, no gaming, no meetings, no loud noises, please. Take yer excessive noise over to the port side, please—or to the back deck, where the late-night pizza is!

If there were a liiitle tiiiny bayyyybeee Jonathan Coulton who was just sleeping sooo soundly, "Good Morning, JoCo" is what you would say to wake him up, so he could cheerfully start his day trying to escape from the terrarium where you keep him next to a scale model of the Gowanus Canal. "Good Morning, JoCo" is ALSO a daily live-to-tape late-night-format morning show filmed in the Rolling Stone Lounge. The late night format comes from filming it right after the main concert each evening, which is later at night. So listen here, join your hosts River Butcher and Daphne Always and their surprise guests—and their planned guests like StormCenter5 Host Storm DiCostanzo. Come to our live taping for blue jokes, stupid props, jargon related to television production that may or may or not be necessary, reshoots, people wearing gnome hats, and adult themes. We aren't checking ids, but don't yell at us if someone drops a swear that's related to a complex topic you're not ready to explain to an audience member in your charge. And catch the finished show the next morning! Presented in glorious 1080p at a blistering 3,000 kbps, Good Morning JoCo is a PG-ish delight for the whole family when viewed in your stateroom.

Many of us like hugging, so let’s get together for some friendly hugging. I’ll provide buttons so that you can let me know if you want bear hugs or gentle hugs or even just a friendly fist bump.

We have the ship turn off the lights overhead and clear away the deck chairs up here each night from 10 pm to 12 am, for those who want a more unobstructed view of the night sky. NOTE: the Observation Deck is only accessible via stairs, there is no elevator or other accessible entry method.

Welcome all polyam and ethically non-monogamous JoCoNauts to your annual meetup(s)! Come chat with other ethically non-monogamous folks about google calendar, compersion, and whatever strikes your fancy. Of course we're having 2 again this year, can't have just 1 of anything!

The title says it all, really.

Our improv all-star team hits the World Stage, and literally no one knows what will happen next.

It's getting kinda late. You've had a big day. You want to find something gentle and quiet and cozy to unwind to before you go to dreamland. Put on your jammies, bring your pillows and blankies, and relax to the point of unconsciousness as Jim Boggia plays a set of lilting, very-in-tune guitar instrumentals with an occasional non-threatening, mellifluous vocal to carry you away to JoCo Dreamland. No clapping. Snoring optional.
