Zumba

[borgerboy@aol.com]

60 year old guy here, pretty fit from running, swimming, weight training, and yoga. gave up step due to achilles problems. finding suitable zumba class can be difficult for a guy like me. mostly women and to be honest my hips just dont wanna move the way their supposed to. my best zumba has been after a yoga class when everyone had a glass of sangria and just zumba'ed to the beat. i will try it on my next cruise though if there is room in the class. or not. maybe latin night in the dance club will work better for me. just my $.02.

I know how it feels to be bitten by the Z bugs.

I'm planning to teach on an upcoming cruise in January on rccl's independence of the seas leaving 1/27. So far I have 4-5 AM classes planned (7:30 am is the only time they can give me). I'm teaching them for free and just for fun! JOIN ME!

I was on Celebrity Century in October to Hawaii and they had Zumba classes every morning.

[gotta cruise again]

Just off the Crown Princess sailing from Galveston. They had Zumba 3 times with the first at 1115 the 1st sea day.

If you are on this same cruise later this season, make sure your Roll Call's Meet & Mingle isn't scheduled at 1100!! Our's was and I couldn't go to Zumba since I had volunteered to manage name tags. Other's in our RC just missed the M&M as Zumba was more important to them.

My family went on the Norwegian Star January 2013 and we were asked to do one of their more in depth reviews of the cruise afterwards. I tried to drive home the lack of Zumba being a huge money loss for them as it seemed that the classes that they did offer were not well attended.

Looks like NCL will start adding Zumba classes on all their ships starting in the spring of 2013 - http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/1/prweb10351034.htm

As I've mentioned in my previous talk about Zumba. I asked Celebrity for Zumba after my Nov 2011 transatlantic and I'm so thrilled that they will have it, that I'm booked on the Infinity from Chile to FLL (Mar.2013) and again Connie (May 5th to June 1...B2B) Can't wait to Zumba on the oceans!

Yeah Zumba! I'm a guy and can't even begin to do all the moves but it's about having fun. Crank up the tunes and shake a leg (or whatever will shake).

The instructor makes all the difference whether it's all Latin or a mix of dance / hip-hip / martial arts.

Is Carnival listening?? How hard would it be to find an instructor on each and every cruise willing to give a class or two. All the instructors I have ever had a class with are high-energy people-people and just love to share the excitement of this "exercise"
