Sorry got food poisoning. IV drip not fun

Onboard Activities

I am a fitness trainer of 38 years and counting. The onboard gym was really ecprional EXCEPT that the functional trainer, otherwise known as a cable crossover, was BROKEN on one side. Very very disappointing! How can a ship embark with the most important resistance machine not working?!! Had read very good reviews so you can imagine my total dissatisfaction when I found out it was partially inoperable. And it was not just me. Was not the only one disappointed. Spoke with Eugene, the trainer. Said it would not be fixed until after cruise ended. Shame.

Entertainment
