DeirdreTours Posted August 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2011 The FamilyTours is leaving on a Bermuda cruise this Sunday. Over on our rollcall, someone popped in to ask who the "lifestylist" on board was. Which prompted the question: What is a lifestylist? The answer came something to the affect of :someone who provides entertainment and classes during the cruise. I am pretty sure my last HAL cruise didn't have a "lifestylist", so I am here to ask: What the heck is a lifestylist? What kind of entertainment and classes does the lifestylist offer? Are there fees for these things or are the part of the cruise fare? Thanks for sharing your Lifestylist experiences! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVgirl Posted August 9, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I think I saw the lifestylist lead the Tai Chi classes in the morning on the aft pool deck. Not sure what else they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 9, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Yes -- there is a "Lifestylist" on the ships. This person is one of the Fitness Instructors. On our recent cruise -- this person was in charge of the Tai Chi clases -- free. Did de-stressing classes, conducted a ship's tour on embarkation day, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissMyst Posted August 9, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Isn't there also a party planner and the one who organizes the napkin folding classes? And the ersatz "nutrition" classes and aroma therapy sessions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 9, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Isn't there also a party planner and the one who organizes the napkin folding classes? And the ersatz "nutrition" classes and aroma therapy sessions? Yes -- there is a Party Planner on all the ships -- does the napkin foldingm, etc., as well as giving tips and recipes for quick parties and tapas, etc. The Party Planner on a couple of our cruises also helped out with the cooking demonstrations.

DeirdreTours Posted August 9, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Well, free tai chi classes sound interesting! I am skeptical of "nutrition" classes or any of that ridiculous rubbish that is hawked in the spa, but will check out the fitness classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANSalberg Posted August 9, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 9, 2011 There may be "Enrichment Speakers" or something of the sort who will lecture on History of where you are headed or something LIKE a columnist [Hollywood] lecturing/slides on personalities etc. We've had both kinds on MANY HAL cruises and thoroughly enjoy learning! I can think of 2 by name that made am impression. The first was years ago [maybe 6 or 7?] on "Voyage of the Vikings" His name was Tim Hughes and his subjects were Mandella and South Africa plus addition topics; Diamonds. I knew practically nothing about either subject and enjoyed every lecture! The second was on a recent Asia/Pacific - his name was Bill Harris and he was a writer in Hollywood. He was wonderful also and great fun [ slide presentations of all the OLD stars!] He came on for the last segment of the cruise and was assigned our table in the diningroom and We ALL loved him; he is a "gentleman" in the best sense of the word! The enrichment classes as I remember , were usually late morning in the main theater and usually packed with "students" [ all of us!] Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
