Work Out area for Kids?

My 17 year old son is really into working out. Is that possible n the Fantasy??

The gym is 18+ on the Fantasy. There is the walking/running loop on deck 4.

But no work out facilities for 17yr old?

No dedicated workout facilities for under 18. But on some cruises, the Vibe organizes a time for teens to go to the gym. Your son should go to the Vibe on the first night of the cruise when they are discussing activities for the cruise and request a time be organized for the gym. Otherwise, the running track on deck 4 is available and he can sign up for the CC5K.

Nope. Only if the teen club organizes some gym time and they do that only if the demand is there.

There is no gym, however there is a basketball court, family pool, and running track

I wouldn't count on the family pool for a workout. It's small even when empty, and I've never seen it empty enough to be able to any type of exercise.

I have been able to swim laps (actually on both the Magic and the Dream) and treading water is an excersise that takes very little space

If he has a trainer, ask the trainer to come up with body-weight exercises for your son. Any trainer worth his or her fee should have no problem coming up with a regimen for your son.

It's an insurance thing...

But best would be for him to get Vibe to do an organized gym visit.

Be aware, often those "organized visits" are only once (maybe twice) during any given cruise and are late at night.

In December on the Fantasy- my 16 yr old daughter was allowed to use the gym after 6pm if there was an adult in there with her. She was also given the option -if working with one of their trainers (paid session) to use it at other times- but that they preferred to schedule those after 5. I just happened to ask when walking by the desk if there were any gym options for teenage cruisers and that is the answer I was given.

We were just on the Fantasy. Our son asked at the open house, and they said no. Then he asked specifically about the Vibe. They had 3 sessions, 9PM every other night. We had late seating, so he had to ask for his dinner to be rushed through. He was the only teen there. He was pretty frustrated by the process.

This is what we were told as well, but by the DCL phone rep. She actually told me age 14 and over can use the fitness room with an adult along. Hoping that's true, but we'll surely double-check when we get on our ship!
