Gym on Embarkation

I heard that the spa area doesn't open until the evening of embarkation day, and I was wondering if the Gym is open? My fiancée is a gym nut and as he will have had to go a whole 24 hours without a session :rolleyes: while we travel, I predict he will want to hit up the gym on board on embarkation day (obviously I will make sure he doesn't go when the muster drill is due!). So will it be open for him? We are on the Epic from Barcelona in Jan which sails at 7pm if that helps.

I have always seen people working out soon after boarding. I was never one of them lol!

I do work out once I get on the ship but only my right arm lifting all the UBP drinks

The gym is open. I've seen people on treadmills but usually it's like a whole family taking a tour that stops in & puts grandma on there for a photo op.

Thanks all- helpful to know it's open! And I agree with you- my priorities on embarkation day will be cold and fruity and come in a souvenir glass. But he's impossible if he has more than one 'rest' day from the gym. (Although I might join him later once those buffet trips start to take their toll...)

There also seem to be a lot of the entertainment staff using the gym the first day....likely since it is the one day that it isn't busy?

There is a gym onboard? [emoji38]

The gym is available as soon as you board. Epic has a large gym with lots of different equipment (we were on the Epic last week). BUT,,,, until the lifeboat drill and sail away, there will be a lot of "tour groups" going through the facility and they usually do a spa raffle in there right after sailing.

Your fiancée could be the center of a lot of attention and part of a lot of people's photo library for the cruise :D

Ha, he'll like that! However, this spa raffle sounds interesting- do I have to sign up on embarkation for a chance to win?

This Grandma goes on the bikes and treadmill for herself.

Yes. You sign up when you get on the ship and they will let you know when the raffle starts.
