Hurray! A documentary focussing on fitness and health.....at last! Very nice that you are leading by example, exercising throughout your frequent cruises, as on land, so on sea. This fitness-centre looks remarkably large and spacious. Always amazing how many thousands of people are on a cruise-ship, but how few are in the fitness-centre at any given time.....a bonus for healthy cruisers....time away from the crowd, and laying the foundation for a long and healthy life to enjoy many more trips, and travels, and cruise-vacations, et cetera.
That's the key! If you don't take care of yourself while cruising frequently, you will not cruise as long as you like! Freedom class ships always have the best gyms!
This brings me back to some great memories over the decades. E.g., Carnival Destiny was awesome for having a solarium and a warm Jacuzzi right in the centre of the gym. Also had unique features on the weight-machines: there was a button that you could press to increase/decrease weights while you were doing an exercise, rather than having to stop the movement to adjust weights manually. Never seen a gym anywhere else, either on other cruise-ships or on land, that has all of these features. And that is funny when you consider that that ship is more than 20 years old now . . . but even then compared very favourably with the quality of fitness-centre and equipment and amenities of any of the mega-ships, to my knowledge.
@The Weekend Cruiser I hope I hit the gym on my back to back cruises on the Liberty. I gained weight on my March cruises. My son also enjoyed your video and told me it is much bigger than his school's gym, so maybe he will join me at the gym. That would be cool. Thanks again for the info.
On anthem of the seas now finally after this cruise will be diamond 💎 got 2 more cruises booked later this year and 3 more in 2024 and 2 more in 2025 🎉. Wonder if they do anything if it’s your birthday during a cruise 🤨
That's awesome Will and congratulations! For birthday celebrations, i have often worked with a diamond concierge to help plan am event or order a special cake to be delivered to a speciality dinning restaurant. You can order a basic cake or get one that goes all out. However, there is a charge for the cake and you will want to tip the concierge for their services. 🎂🎂
That is a very fair statement. Recently, I've heard the internet has been spectacular with record breaking speeds. As long as Royal Caribbean doesn't throttle the bandwidth, it should be excellent!
@@dara_the_cruisingcatlady let me know how it goes! I always like to have back-up plans. Have a solid international data plan with Google Fi Wireless and have a Bahamas sim card through Aliv. I always get super anxious when going live and this helps calm me down 😂
To my knowledge, the only boxing ring is on Virgin Voyages and it is outside on their fitness area. Some ships will have a boxing bag but it is hit or miss.

Royal used to have those jacuzzis in the middle of the gym too! Long gone though.
Hey Brandon, thanks for the info on the fitness center. I'm going to be on the Liberty in July.
Thanks Brent! I always enjoy doing a good gym your! Hope you love liberty!

One machine is abduction and the other ones is for adduction, 2 different muscles
hahaha, you can tell which machines I don't use!! You are very correct and totally forgot that you can go in both directions here.
Is there a place to get protien shakes onboard?
Not on Liberty. You will only find this on Quantum and Oasis class ships that have the Vitality Cafe outside of the gym.
I'll be on Liberty on Thursday. How is the internet? i've heard it's hit or miss.
