Iona gym activities - how much is a 'nominal charge'?

[Norwayfan1]

I can see from old copies of Horizon that some activities/classes (eg yoga) attract what P&O refer to as a 'nominal charge.'

 

Can anyone tell me how much a 'nominal charge' might typically be?

 

We're going to be travelling with someone who might be keen, and they asked me this question.

 

I've never been to a fitness activity in my life, so I'm hoping a fellow P&O cruiser might be able to advise.

 

Many thanks!

I seem to remember it was anything but "nominal". I can't remember to be fair but it was either £45 or even £60 for a single spin session. Yoga is going to be similar I expect.

Thank you very much for replying.

 

That isn't my definition of 'nominal' either. No wonder they didn't specify the fee in print!

 

I suspect our companion will be enjoying a exercise-free cruise. 😬

I think you are honestly mistaken cannot see P&O charging up to £60 for a single spinning session or yoga session.

No need to be exercise free. Can't help with the price of classes but the use of the gym is completely free.

Someone on another forum said the yoga class (on Iona) was £15 per session a few months ago.

I suppose they have to budget for the unentanglement time for those who are a little too enthusiastic in yoga, plus the cost of the crowbar and drum of vaseline.

I suspect if it was that amount we would have heard about it by now. Is that not that cost of a series of sessions.

It is around £15 per class and you can buy a pass that will cover you for all the classes on the cruise that does give a slight discount if you actually went to all of them - and at that price it doesn't compare too badly to the price you would pay for a class onshore.

 

There is usually a 'stretch' class around 5.30pm or so that is free of charge.

 

From when I have used the gym the classes seem to be reasonably well attended, but I cannot attest to their quality as I just use the gym equipment.

 

The gym itself is free of charge and is pretty well equipped with a good number of running and rowing machines for cardio, a good variety of weight machines, plus a reasonable selection of free weights.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Much appreciated.😊

Yoga   the instructor helps you. 

 

Spinning ? Can't understand  paying £15 to sit on a bike which you can do for free, just so someone can say go faster..
