The Logbook — Real Guest Soundings

4.0 ★ out of 5 Regular cruiser • Symphony of the Seas • 2024

The gym on Symphony was surprisingly well-equipped. Plenty of treadmills with ocean views — makes the time fly by. Go early (I was there at 6:15am) and you'll have your pick of equipment. By 9am on sea days it gets crowded. The free weights section is smaller than land gyms but adequate. Spinning classes are worth the fee if you're into that.
