They may call it a "cruise," but an oceanographic expedition is usually a unique blend of tedium and patience, punctuated by bursts of extremely hard work. Each member of the ship crew and science party stands several "watches" per day--working four, six, or eight hours on, then four to eight hours off--to keep everyone fresh and involved. Your entertainment is usually whatever low-tech (or no-tech) gear you can fit in your duffel bag.
