Read, swim, sun bathe, work out, listen to music, watch movies, go to shows, eat, visit with other passengers, shop, watch the ocean, ... etc..
I've done a couple cruises with quite a few "at sea" days. The cruise lines seem to work extra hard at amusing people then. Some educational opportunities with university professors, crafts, contests, tours of the inner workings of the ships, etc..
Worked for me. Very well.

PS - Depending upon your country, getting Brazil visas can be expensive, time consuming, and a general pain.

Most of the mainstream cruising I've done lately have had a lot of sea days (at least 8 over 2-3+ weeks) since 2 out of 3 have been primarily for intercontinental travel.
Anyway, breakfast, lunch, sometimes tea (horrible tea on Holland America ships) and dinner in the dining room will burn up at least 3 1/2 - 4 hours of a day. Gym and or pool another, 1-2 hours, trivia (1-2 hrs a day, earns me lots of pins), reading, lectures if any.
Have an upcoming 17 day cruise with no stops, and no entertainment other than the ship library/lounge.
