Rare Jetswdo Posted January 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I posted similar question and no one responded. Even if not the Royal, does any one know how early the gym opens? Is it 24 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billco Posted January 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I sailed on the Royal last October. I don't recall any times being posted. I usually entered the gym around 5:30AM on most sea days. All of the equipment, including treadmills was always available. Other Princess have restrictions on treadmill use, because there are staterooms beneath the gym.

New grandma Posted January 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 21, 2014 We just got off the Crown on Saturday. The gym opened at 0700 but the treadmills couldn't be used until 0900. Bad design of the ship. Rooms below, so they try to minimize the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sailed on the Emerald Princess November 29th - December 9th. I am looking at the Princess Patter as I type. Lotus Health & Fitness Gym: 6:00 am - 10:00 pm... Treadmills: 8:00 am - 8:00 pm. This schedule was for all 10 days of our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering, are the time restrictions on treadmills also applied to elliptical machines? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run every day and waiting for the treadmills to "open" at 8am will be somewhat of an issue, especially on certain port days. That being said, can someone tell me what the outside running accommodations on the Emerald are like? Is there an outdoor track? I know the promenade goes all the way around the ship, correct? Is it possible to use this for running? It appears there are some steps towards the bow, but I can't quite tell. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Promenade deck does go all the way around and there are approx 15 stairs on either side of the ship going up to the upper Promenade level with Emerald deck. 2.7 times around=1 mile. Yes people use it for running. There is a very short "jogging" track aft above skywalkers but you would probably find this unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just have to get my lazy butt up to the gym to actually use them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jetswdo Posted January 22, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted January 22, 2014 On the Royal, the gym is open around 5:30 am. All the stuff can be used except treadmills, which can be used at 8:00 am? The ex. bikes and other machines are ok? (hubbie doesn't use treadmill-- just all the other stuff.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
