LetsTryThisPlace Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi Everyone, Been lurking the forum for a while for my next RCCL cruise on Freedom in March. This will be my 2nd cruise on RCCL and my wife's first. She had a terrible time on NCL so I'm hoping this one will get her hooked. So to my question, I noted on cruise planner an unlimited class pass for the gym for $29 but there is absolutely no info on this. I'm hoping one of you have happened to use it before and could let me know more info on it. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arebee Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I've never used it or even seen it. Unless its for the spin classes or one of the other classes they offer I don't know what its for. We go and use the free equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I've never heard of an unlimited gym class pass either. Was this pass on RC or NCL? If it was on RC, which ship was the Compass for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellcee Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 It's on my Cruise Planner - $39.00 for 4 days or less. (Harmony 7/7) There's weirdly no picture and the text cuts off. "Sign up for unlimited fitness class access including Yoga, Pilates and Indoor". That's all. From what I've seen there is a $12 charge for classes so I guess only if you're going to take enough classes to save you money it's worth it. The rest of the gym use is free.

Matt Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I see it now on Symphony The description on previous page says "Sign up for any 3 fitness classes including Yoga, Pilates and Indoor Cycling" 8 minutes ago, ellcee said: There's weirdly no picture and the text cuts off. This happens when RC adds a new option. Often the info gets loaded before image assets. ellcee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 On Freedom in November 2017 the classes on board were: Tour De Cycle $12 Pure-Form Pilates $12 Pure-Form Yoga $12 Trilo3y Bootcamp $35 per class, 3 classes for $90 It appears the last may not be included in the unlimited pass.

twangster Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I found the class schedule from November as well: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkelBierJay Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 If Ryde is a spin class, and it's $20 and it's eleigible, then that's a 20% savings. Still steep, but better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinstyle Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I am on a 7 day and it is titled "Unlimited Class Pass (4 days or less)", what does that mean? For four days on the ship we can go to unlimited classes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your wife was going to go to that many classes anyway, and if she was going to purchase the more expensive classes, then it can absolutely save money.

I don't disagree, but I don't want to put money to it until I fully understand the fine print. Called RCL yesterday about it and was on the phone for 30mins and no one could tell me anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, it's not that she won't use the classes, it's more like how many and what is covered and what isn't. Plan to call myself too maybe they had time to think about it lol. From what twanster, the classes she is interested are probably the cheaper ones anyway. So might just have to wait till on board and either see if they offer it onboard with an explanation or just get the ones she actually wants.

JLMoran Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I tried booking this just now, as it's also showing for my cruise, but when I added to my cart it was rejected as not a valid selection. I guess it's part of the whole thing around the image being missing and Royal's general IT suckiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsTryThisPlace Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 ya, their whole site kept crashing on me all last week. For such a big company that needs tech for everything. They have the worst site ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 FWIW - here is the on-board offer in the gym while I'm on Anthem right now: The schedule for this 9 night cruise: Matt, JLMoran and Bazza 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsTryThisPlace Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Thanks @twangster I will share with my wife and she can decide if its worth it. At least we know you can get it on board since their site stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to book the option that matches the number of nights for your sailing, otherwise it will reject it. Right now, it seems that all three options are showing up on all sailings.

ellcee Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I feel like they used to offer more free classes...I've never taken a class because their gym was really good (clean, lots of current machines) so I can't be sure. I get the whole business aspect of it but it's just another charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsTryThisPlace Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 So my wife decided it probably isn't worth it. Shes most likely only going to do a couple classes, probably on sea days, and use the other gym facilities the rest of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am considering it for our 12 night in October; we have 6 sea days. I can do 6 yoga classes if offered. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, tried that and still no dice. Will try again when we get closer to sailing date and the IT department has gotten fresh hamsters running the server wheels.

ellcee Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Mine's already changed...gone was the 4 days or less for $39 to 5 to 7 days for $79. Still no pic and when you click on it you still can't choose anything yet. Their IT roll out system is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem very professional to me. Truly, it boggles the mind. an update for anyone who cares: the website is just as broken over a year later. The offerings for fitness class packages no longer overlap with the matching type of cruise; on a 8+ day cruise you are allowed to book the 4 or less option, the 5-7 is present but unusable, and the 8+ option is absent. Booking the only one I can and crossing my fingers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
