Emerald Princess 11/8/11 Zumba Classes

I know Princess said a few months ago that they were training staff to have Zumba classes on their ships by the end of this year. Has anyone been on the Emerald lately and do they have Zumba classes? I do a number of Zumba classes each week and would miss it on a 10 day cruise.

I saw Zumba times scheduled in the Patter on our last cruise but didn't check it out.

Tell me, what it is? I know it's an exercise group, but is it for older people too? Why don't they just call it aerobics? Must be something different.

Please enlighten me.

Thanks.

Zumba is a synchronized dance aerobic class set to Latin rhythms. It is fun and a good cardio workout!:)

Just got off the Emerald 3 weeks ago and they did have Zumba. I had never done it, but ended up loving it. :)

how long are the zumba classes abroad, and how much do they charge?

Hope to see Zumba on Star Princess in Sept. I have only done a few classes but its so much fun (even if your co-ordination is as bad as mine)! Recommend anyone who is unsure sure give it a go.

There was Zumba on the Crown last January. They lasted an hour and no charge and are a lot of fun to participate in or just to watch. Enjoy them. I am loooking forward to them in October.

Thanks everyone for your input.

Janina, glad to hear the Emerald had Zumba. Hopefully it will be offered more than once during the 10 day period I'll be on the cruise.

When the Emerald on in April they were offered on sea days. I watched some of the classes.

Loved doing Zumba onboard, since so many other people there were as klutzy as me. Totally non-intimidating. I keep thinking I should try Zumba at 24-Hour, but I'm scared of all those wildly coordinated, ferociously fit 20-year-old women in Spandex.
