on track area on top deck of Sojourn,,,just watch for wet deck area and wind,,,had to myself early am and later pm in Norway in June,..good for power walking,,not jogging for me...due to movement and above conditions mentioned...but,,hey,,much better than track at home and better views...hahaha:)

[Pop-I]

thx for that. Yes, better views for sure. And hopefully visualize those views when back home.

remember reading it in the Herald....think it was 8 times around Deck 9.

If you believe that the sky bar deck is 120 meters long then to walk around it 14 times would be roughly a mile.

 

I can see this is a good choice for early to mid morning exercise but when the lounges are in heavy use, the bar area gets busy, and/or the sun gets too strong for comfort, then the U shaped walking area on 5 deck is the better choice. Not only is it under-used but as such you can maintain your own pace. I imagine that that area is about 8 lengths for a mile.

 

Happy cruising!

I try to go early, before Sky Bar is open, because as between exercise and a cocktail, well..... But I am quite diligent about doing my 6 miles before imbibing.

Just paying some attention to this as we board the Odyssey soon. It isn't an actual loop, is it? More like get to the end and turn around?? Thanks for hint about deck 5 also....Jen

Jen,

 

The area on 9 deck is a loop and it crosses the ship at one end near the doors to the spa and at the other end near the seating areas for the Sky Bar.

 

Happy cruising!

I walked this on rainy day,,,not as scenic,,or dedicated to runners per se,,,so often people,,actually got in the way,,,on a ship,,can you imagine??haha you can cut thru and walk to other side of ship rather than turning around and going back same way....but I much preferred Deck 9...Have fun,,,,PS..can use work out room machines as last resort..with all the exercise I only managed to gain 2 lbs in 10 days,,yikes!!:eek:

Negotiating the Sky Bar environs can be somewhat hazardous. The more so as the sun goes over the yardarm and less athletic fellow cruisers are exercising their right arms. The temptation to join them can be difficult to resist.

On the Odyssey, the brochure said deck 9 was for joggers. Ha! It is a loop, but with the deck chairs out and the slow walkers and other traffic, it was next to impossible to jog.

I discovered deck 5, which is not a loop, but which had plenty of space and was empty early in the morning when I jogged. I'm booked on the Quest for May 2012, and expect to jog on deck 5.

Please remember that people are below you on deck four, so hope it is not too early for your jog, otherwise you may disturb people sleeping.

I don't believe that there are people sleeping on deck 4 under the walking area of deck 5. It's the dining room and kitchen of deck 4 below this part of deck 5.
