Hi! So I have recently become obsessed with my Peloton bike and find myself trying to figure out the spinning options on our upcoming Allure cruise. (Normally I would be planning the best place to sit on my tush! http://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif). I have found some dated information regarding Flywheel on Allure and Oasis, but nothing in a year, and nothing on Royal Caribbean's website. Is it still Flywheel on Allure? How many classes during the week? Can you use the spinning bikes when there isn't a formal class? Does anyone happen to have any recent Fitness Center schedules?

Greatly appreciate any information! Thank you!

Do they still payout un-used cabin credit at the end of the cruise?

My husband and I did this two years ago and it was the absolute highlight of our cruise. However "drift" may give you the wrong impression. If you are not a confident or comfortable swimmer, this trip can be intimidating. The water flows quickly. My husband is not that comfortable in moving water and "became one with the coral" , ending up with a few scrapes. The current was swift and we really had to pay attention to the guide. Hubby only went once, I did it a second time and was able to see more as I knew what to expect. We've snorkeled many, many places and this was terrific.

 

All that said, we'd do it again in an instant. Enjoy your cruise, it was one of the most wonderful experiences of our lives.:)

My DH became one with a sea urchin! Unfortunately, we had 2 guides for 12 people, and the english speaking one went ahead with the first 6 people, and the non-english speaking one went with us without actually telling us where we going. I ended up 'one with the coral' (scraps), but DH got it much worse. Everyone who did not end up injured had a great time, but make sure you stick close to an English (or whatever language you speak) guide and ask them to tell you what the path is. We had done a drift snorkel earlier in the trip (Huahine with Mark) and it was so calm and safe and we just went with the current. On this one we were supposed to cut across, but missed the spot. Shoes are a definite and gloves would have definitely helped.

(FYI we are both athletes, I am a prior life guard and swim instructor and 30ish years old)
