Couldn't tell you about Princess. RCI had surprisingly serious spinning classes on Grandeur and Vision. Yoga and aerobics classes onboard were a lot more low-key, but spinning seemed fairly hard-core.

Great spinning classes on Princess always buy the package never miss a class. I wear my monitor and get a 600 Cal burn.

for gym music and workout music, I recommend european dance music.......

 

it's ALWAYS the best motivational tool for me...

 

.....and you don't have to tell anyone at the office if u just listen to it on the mp3 player at the gym ;) ....

 

.... here's a compilation series on itunes that I recommend:

This will be my 4th princess cruise and although I love cruising because I can spend a couple hours at the gym, I am disappointed with most of the classes. The fitness instructors that I have had, didn't really seem to make us want to work hard. Every single one of them I thought was just going through the motions. In my opinion, they wanted to have you come and do the paying stuff, and the free stuff was on the back burner. I was also dissapointed that I have to pay for yoga and pilates classes, when to me, the instructors are there full time, they should be doing it for free. I understand paying for the spinning, because of the cost of the bikes, and getting dedicated spinners a bkie in the limited slots, but come on... paying for yoga and pilates!

Based on this I would suggest to the OP that they jump on a treadmill or eliptical to get their cardio.

I do, I do...but it gets boring!!! And I really love taking classes. I go to gyms where ever I travel to take different classes. As a fitness center it's not really good with group fitness unless you're paying for it!

No info on Princess, but I was on a transatlantic cruise on Celebrity Century last spring. As is typical of longer cruises, the average passenger age was older. I was amazed at how strenuous the free exercise classes were. The instructors were not unpleasant but they really pushed people to give it their all. I think they were lucky no one croaked in class.
