Gym / Fitness fascilities onboard

[taoist]

What provision is made for staff in terms of being able to exercise during their time onboard?

I like to go to the gym three times a week, nothing serious but just like stay in shape. Are the gyms onboard accessible to staff?

There are normally a crew gym onboard. If you're in a position which has public acces, you can probably use the passenger gym during quiet hopurs (nights, port days).

Thanks MrMate,

The position I applied for has public access so I guess use of the passenger gym might be possible.

I was thinking with all the workers on the big cruise ships, there must be some provision, so its good to know there is a gym. Although it might get a bit busy with all those people

My experience is that the pax gym was almost empty after 2000 hrs.

Good point, I know if I was on a cruise (holiday) for a couple of weeks I wouldnt be there either
But I definately would want to be able to get to the gym a few times a week if I was working on board.
