Anything I should know? I'm going to try to do about 10 miles a day while I'm on the cruise.

Why so little? I say get in 14 2/7 miles for each day of the cruise...100 MPW pace.
That's going to kill you.
The "jogging" track on most ships is narrow, wet, slippery, and full of tight turns. I mean you could do it, but it'll take a while, and you won't have fun.
I guess you could always use the fitness center for their treadmills. Or wait until your ports of call and spend the day doing running tours.
A few days off won't get ya. Might even make ya faster.

Titanic?
Stick to short stuff on the treadmills. The boat wobbles so much that it's really tough to run on the treamills, but the other options are usually worse.
Plus, it's a cruise. Aren't there better things to do besides running? Go easy on yourself for a week and enjoy your vacation. You can always hammer when you get back.
I got really off task and had a 9 mile week 3 weeks ago. That's why I can't take another easy week.
I've never ran on a treadmill before. So this will be the first time.
Would it be best to run on the track real early in the morning?..That's really a rhetorical question.
Besides that one week that I ran 9 miles, I have a really good base and I don't want to lose anymore of it.
Are you stopping at many ports? Maybe you could run while in port, then recover on board.
The new boats have huge running tracks. 5 laps to the mile. The curves are tight but so what? If you get up early enough the power walkers or whatever they call themselves aren't out yet.
Run a marathon first and then use the cruise as your recovery and enjoy it.
It's a Carnival Cruise. The ship is called "Holiday." I'm going with my friends family.
I'm kind of scared to run while docked. I'll google the places that we're going to be docked at.
just quit running cause you'll never break 15:30 at carrolton you jackass
If you run on the deck, there can be extreme headwinds and tailwinds if the ship is moving.

I'm not trying to do that anymore.
If the track is decent run on it. The cruise I went on it was too windy and unsafe to run on the deck though. It was an Alaskan cruise. I did all my running a treadmill. I had no problems with the ship swaying. Those ships are huge and sway very little. plus, the treadmills have rails if it happened to sway a lot you'd be fine.
I'm sure there will be a weight room, so maybe focus on strengthining your core a little extra than you normally do. Enjoy the food but don't go overboard.

Yea. I had to hit the treadmill.
