carrieann906 Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Does anyone know if I will be able to ask my steward for a yoga mat to keep in my cabin on an Alaskan cruise next month? It is on Radiance of the Seas, and I'll be in a Grand Suite, if that makes a difference. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Probably not. I don't think it hurts to ask but it would really depend on what the gym offers, and I am not sure older ships have that set up.

CrznTxn Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 The gym has the yoga mats. I have not heard of anyone asking for one to be kept in their cabin but will not hurt to ask. carrieann906 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaMG Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 There is so little supervision in the gyms these days (pet peeve but I'll spare you all the rant) that you could very easily just go and get one and take it back to your cabin. The chances are that nobody would question or stop you. However, there really aren't that many of them and keeping one in your cabin could certainly have the effect of leaving someone without one in the gym when they need it. If you want to use one in your cabin I would suggest you return it when you've finished using it and go and get another the next time you need it. carrieann906 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a bad back and do lots of stretches on the floor, but that grosses me out in hotel rooms, and I don't want to go to the gym every time I need to adjust my back.

Fingers crossed I can keep one in my room. I have a bad back and have to do little adjustments often to keep it in line. I'm just hoping to not have to go to the gym every time for it.

Seconding this. There were only maybe 8 mats on Radiance last September, which was not even enough for the people that signed up for yoga class.

It is a hygiene issue I always cover the mat completely with a pool towel whenever I use one precisely for this reason. The towels provided in the gym are tiny.

DDaley Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Maybe you could bring a folding camping pad? They weigh almost nothing and could be clipped via carabiner to the exterior of your carry on bag or rolling suitcase, thus not taking up valuable real estate.

I have a super compact one that will work perfect! Thank you for responding DDaley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
