For anyone interested I’m on the Symph it Seas at the moment: the spin bikes are Life Fitness Ic5, cleats are SPD MTB style, lots of shoes available. Some images below:
The spin classes are $20 each class or $69 for unlimited classes. You can’t actually use the bikes when there is not a class on but if you throw a few $$ to the gym instructor they turn a blind eye. There aren’t any spin style bikes in the actually gym area, just sit up bikes.
I'm currently on the Voyager of the Seas and confirm they have the exact same type of bike and use the same SPD cleats.
The trainer did come in (while I was streaming a Peloton class!) and charge me $39 for use of spin bikes while not in class use. The $39 charge was the total for the entire cruise. I wasn't too happy (at first) because the bikes sit idle for 23 hours a day, the room and bikes are unlocked and there is no sign saying you can't use the spin bikes without paying a fee. However after reading this post I am reluctantly OK with the fee.
I took their spin classes a few years ago on the Independence of the Seas and thought they were mediocre at best, the instructor had the same Playlist every time and seemed to be just a guy that had done spin a couple of times before.
Now I get to do all my favorite Peloton classes while on the cruise which makes working out much more palatable.
