Default Walking the Promenade on a Vista Class - how many laps?

OK - I'm not really a committed walker ... but have managed to do nearly a mile a day this summer. We're headed to the Zuiderdam and wondering if anyone knows how many laps is equal to one mile. I know it's posted onboard, but am wanting to brace myself for whatever it says. As usual, I turn to the collective knowledge found here.

Yes, and it's a quick mile! One day I went for a walk with my IPOD on a sea day. The scenery was magnificent and the music was great - 15 laps and about 50 minutes later I realized I should probably stop and go eat some bread pudding...

Talking Prominade deck

You have to watch whiat time of the day you do your laps...

Certain times of the day they have Scooter, Walker, and wheelchair races on the prominade deck as it is in the shade....
