You are in a Tizzy arnt you!!!! I have been on 6 JY holidays and 1 this year to go and 1 in the pipeline for next year..so all I can say is WE DONT PLAY GAMES in the evenings we are to busy sight seeing..!!
I have done 4 Long Haul trips and the days are so full that really a nice meal and either gental wandering or just a cosy chat/evening, are what I need, and 2 short haul trips, these have not been so full on in the day but still busy enough and the evenings have been more meal in hotel (as in Half Board style)and then stay hotel based or just venture close by.
It depends on the style of holiday as some of the sight seeing is during the evening as well, as a group. All I can say is the holidays are so worth trying. So book one you fancy what have you got to lose. Strangers are just friends we have not met yet.
