1
Starbucks
It's not exactly a starbucks, but it runs like one and makes specialty drinks for the crew.
2
Shopping
The 'Mall' sells everything from necessities to memorabilia and the '7-11' sells convenience items like snacks and batteries. On deployments, the snacks change based on the nearest country.
3
'Steel Beach' Picnic
On deployments, the crew is sometimes given a "steel beach picnic" where they use the flight deck to barbeque, play music and treat the crew to a relaxing few hours.
4
American Idol
On deployments they provide after hour activities to keep the crew from going crazy. On my 2011 deployment, The Ronald Reagan held a weeks long 'Reagan Idol' competition where crew competed to be the best singer on the ship.
5
Beer Day
Exactly what it sounds like. If lucky enough to get one, hundreds of cases are brought on to the ship and its crew are treated to a few beers to drink while on deployment.
