Oasis and/or Anthem Gym: What's the story?

[ellenh]

I've searched, but still not sure I understand how the gym on ships works these days.  I'm specifically interested in the Anthem and Oasis (cruising on both before the end of the year) but any info on other ships might be relevant so...

 

Reservations:  When are they necessary and how do I make them?  I've read that they are necessary for "peak times" but what determines what peak times are?

 

Masks: Yes? No? Depends on ____??

 

Classes: Yes? No? Free? $$?

 

Could anyone with recent experience enlighten me?  Thanks!

Following this as I am curious as well. I will be sailing on the Anthem December 12th.

Was on the September 5th Oasis sailing. Used they gym twice. It is a vax only location so no mask required. At that time they were limiting the amount of people who could use the gym at one time but with only about 2,000 pax that was never an issue. There are wipes stationed all around the gym to wipe down the equipment when you are finished.  Hope this helps. Didn't do any classes, I know some have a fee not sure if there are any that don't have a fee.

I just got off oasis a few weeks ago.  The gym was vaccinated only with no masks required.  No reservations were required.  Due to limited capacity it wasn’t crowded at all.  I didn’t check on classes.
