Jogging Track Review: Ocean Views While You Run

As a regular runner, I was pleased with the jogging tracks on Royal Caribbean. Running at sunrise with the ocean stretching to the horizon is a special experience you can't replicate at home. The track on Symphony of the Seas took about 5 laps per mile—not ideal for serious distance, but perfect for a daily maintenance run.

Tips: Go early morning to beat the heat and crowds. Bring water—there aren't fountains along the track. The ship's movement is barely noticeable while running, though rough seas can make it interesting. Watch for walkers around corners.

Rating: 4.0/5. Won't replace your land-based running, but excellent for maintaining fitness and enjoying incredible views.
