ralmyers Posted May 3, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2004 What do you think the average weight gain is on a cruise? One my first and second cruise I actually came back 5 pounds lighter, I guess all of the walking? The last one I gained 5 -- probably all of the drinks of the day :-) Triumph <IMG SRC="http://escati.linkopp.net/cgi-bin/countdown.cgi?trgb=000000&srgb=00ff00&prgb=800080&cdt=2004;5;22;16;00;00 &timezone=GMT-0500"> Fantasy - 94 Imagination - 95 Ecstasy - 99 Triumph - 04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted May 3, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2004 CruiseTravel mag had a survey awhile back. Seems like the 'average' is 5 lbs. per 7-day cruise. I usually gain a couple of pounds, but last cruise, didn't gain any. I did a little more walking than usual, tho, so that's probably why. I'm truly surprised that I don't gain at least 10!

Sweetcharlotte30 Posted May 3, 2004 #10 Share Posted May 3, 2004 4 lbs for me also and we did TONS of walking. So much so that we had to do the 69 foot massage thing once or twice, our feet were so sore but we didn't want to just hang out at the cabin the whole time. I can't imagine how much I would have gained if we just sat in the cabin all the time. Official member of O.A.T.C. Until we fool around on the Miracle! Ecstacy, Western Carib.

RYPERO Posted May 3, 2004 #22 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I lost five pounds a couple of cruises ago and gained 8 on my last one. I can see me ballooning in my pictures as the trip went on since I carry lots of my weight in my face. We even walked alot but I guess I ate alot more.

PINEVIEW01 Posted May 3, 2004 #23 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I think I'm learning to hate Liv! (well, maybe I'm just jealious ) I gained 15 pounds (lost 7 before going so, really 8) on my last 5 day cruise with my daughter. I used the stairs all the time and walked as much as I could. I gained 7 or 8 on the last three 7 day cruises. Most was water as I'd be back to normal in a week or two.

Orcrone Posted May 3, 2004 #25 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Between two days in Tampa ahead of time and 7 days on the Inspiration I came back 11 pounds heavier. I went the first six days without going near the gym, and then went twice on the last full day. Too little, too late. But 7 days after returning I was back to where I started. For the next cruise I plan on losing about 5 pounds before embarkation and going to the gym every other day. Hoping to come back with just the five pounds back on (but if I don't, who cares)? 1/1990 - RCCL Song of America 4/13/2003 - Carnival Inspiration 10/30/2004 - Maasdam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
