Scale

[tellubob]

Is there a scale in the workout area on the Amsterdam? Or somewhere?

[sail7seas]

Yes.

There is a scale in the workout area on all the ships.

I've never found it very useful.

The variance in weight was too dramatic to put any faith in it.

I tried when ship was moving. I've tried when it was tied up. Then I gave up. :)

For years, I've wished for bathroom scales in the cabins of those who want one but I keep getting outnumbered here. Most people don't want one. :)

I would think putting a scale on a cruise is like having a clock in a casino....nobody really wants you to see it. :p

LOL I dunno. Food is "free" so no loss to HAL if we stop eating. . . :eek:

[Gail & Marty sailing away]

All ships have one ...

The first thing DH does when he is on a ship -- check out the fitness area and the scales.

Probably once did he find one that was in good working order.

If you need an accurate scale use the scale in the medical center.

If you need an accurate scale use the scale in the medical center.

Do they let you do that?

You also have to remember: it lies.

 

And the lies it tells get worse as the cruise progresses.

LOL.... I suspected that and appreciate your confirming!!! :D

Yes, on our 35 day VoV cruise in 2012, I went to the medical center each week to weight myself, no charge

[FoghornLeghorn]

Workout room???

 

What are these things of which you speak???

 

I have these on my "prohibited" list

:D

I used the one in the gym to weigh my luggage and it gave me the same figure the one at the airport did. I used the same strategy before I left home and took the bags to my ( very local) gym to weigh. Those balance scales are more accurate than my bathroom scale ( which gave me a 20% error).

Hi

 

 

On Amsterdam they have a luggage scale on the Promenade Deck (Atrium) Beside the cruise director or Manager I forget what office it is beside. I used it a few times.

I don't know how accurate they really are.

It's on the Lower Promenade. I wouldn't want someone to drag a heavy suitcase to the wrong deck.

This is why I so love CC. I had NO idea and will FOR SURE be using it on our next cruise!

[tellubob]

Looking forward to NOT gaining weight thanks to CC! I realize we might gain a pound or two, but have no desire to undermine 2 years of life style change. We are good,but don't have unlimited food choices at home and want to monitor things.....

Hi

 

Thank you Ruth You are right, I dragged my heavy suit case down to it.. Thank you who ever you are for wheels on suitcases,

I lost 15 pounds before the cruise so that I could wear the clothes I already owned! I had no intention of dieting during a cruise, but wanted to check my "progress" once in a while. I used the scales in the fitness center and found them to be very unreliable. My advice? For what it's worth ... eat whatever you want and walk, walk, walk -- in ports and on the ship.
