The Best Fitness Areas on Carnival Cruise Ships

You can use a weeklong cruise vacation as a way to recharge and refresh. For many people, that might mean laying on beaches or sitting poolside on a lounger on the lido deck soaking up the sun while sipping fruity cocktails.

For me, I like to make sure I get the right balance of exercise, rest and entertainment. Cruise ships provide tons of opportunities for all of these vacation styles -- and I'm talking about all the things that can all be enjoyed without even leaving the ship.

If you're more like me -- and you just might be because you're poking around this website, after all -- you need to start your day by revving up your engine with a good workout. It's the best way to earn all those extra cruise calories.

In the first of an occasional series on fitness at sea, let's take a look at what Carnival Cruise Line has to offer for its passengers.

Yes, you can take fitness classes on a cruise. They come with an added fee, and the classes are located in the gym onboard your vessel. The gyms are complimentary, but you pay about $12 to $20 for fitness classes -- such as yoga, pilates, spinning and boot camp -- which are available on all ships in the fleet. Personal training sessions also are available and typically cost about $50 to $75 per session.

Good news: the fitness center is often located right next to the spa, so you can get a soak or a massage after your workout.

All Carnival Cruise ships include an outdoor jogging track, where you can make your way around an upper deck for a few laps to start or end your day. Watch out for walkers and lounge chairs that tend to creep into your lanes, though.

You can also take your workouts outdoors. Cruise ships Carnival Breeze, Carnival Magic, Carnival Sunshine and the new Carnival Vista (debuting in 2016) include a SkyFitness area. The gym on top of the ship offers machines for body-weight exercises, heavy bags to give the once over and a selection of cardio equipment. You can sweat under the sun or in cooling tropical breezes while enjoying the views.

I like the variety offered on the Carnival Cruise ships, so I can change up how I start each day while on my voyage.

Travel fit. Travel happy.
