Days at sea are just that: entire days when all you see around the ship is ocean and there are no ports of call which enable you to get off the ship.
It's a good idea to plan what you might do on a day at sea in advance, at least to get an idea in your head of how you plan on spending the day.
You may choose to sleep in. You may have chosen to stay up later the night before, knowing you have absolutely nothing to do the next day if you don't want to. Technically, you don't even have to leave your cabin and can order complimentary room service delivered to you all day. We did this on our Ruby Princess cruise last month, spending most of the day on our balcony, reading books or watching TV between deliveries from room service and an occasional knock at the door from our cabin steward to see if we were still alive.
But you can also get out of your cabin for a relaxing massage in the spa, a swim in the pool or just hang around "people-watching" in one of the ship's common areas. The ship's entertainment staff will have a day packed full of a variety of events and things to do. Check your shipboard newsletter for that the night before and plan (or not) what you will do the next day.
Experienced gamblers, for example, (and by "experienced gamblers" I mean people like me who play slot machines) know that the best odds of winning are on the first night. That's when they hook you. After that it's downhill all the way except during some periods of time on days at sea. I know this from a friend of mine who used to be in charge of the casino operations on a major cruise line. She told me this after she had left the company, so I really don't have any reason not to believe it.
