Ship gym question

[my3princesses]

OK Now I am really overplanning - however I will need to visit a treadmill at some point on this trip. Does anyone know if the cardio machines have plugs for headphones to listen to music or watch TV or should I bring the discman along?

The exercise room doe shave tvs, but I can't remember if there are plugs for your own earphones or not. I'd bring the discman if I were you. I thought the room was nicely equipped, and although it was small it was never busy. the treamills overlook the bridge so you can watch them sail the ship!

Yes, there are plugs for your own headphones. I used the eliptical machine every day on our DCL western in July and brought my son's headphones with me each time. I think I watched Hildago and 30 First Dates several times that week while working out. I still think of our incredible cruise when I see a commercial for those movies.

Does anyone know what the hours of the exercise room are??

From the Navigators from our 7/04 western, the hours of the Fitness Center were 6:30 am - 8:00 pm. We had late dinner seating so I usually went to work out at ~ 5 or 5:30 pm. I never had to wait for an eliptical and many times I was the only person there. Sometimes I close my eyes when I'm using my eliptical here at home and imagine I'm on the Magic with that incredible view!!

I like to exercise late at night after the kids are in bed and was hoping it would be open until 11:00 pm. Oh well

And speaking of kids, they aren't allowed in the gym. Very odd on a family cruise.

I asked about this and was told that it was due to safety concerns. My 14 year old son and his best friend who cruised with us were able to visit the fitness center one night with a group of other teens from The Stack (the teen club).
