Signing up for fitness classes

[Filistine]

Hi, we were first time cruisers on Vista earlier this year and when we tried signing up for the fitness classes (pilates etc.) on day 3 they were fully subscribed. We are booked on Sirena (November) and would welcome any advice how and when is the best time to sign up -  can we enrol up prior to sailing?

Sign up on embarkation day as early as you can make it to the spa/fitness area.

Thank you

As suggested if the classes are a "must do" then head straight to the gym on embarkation and sign up.  We were on the Riviera recently and the classes filled up extremely fast but most had multiple no shows (later in the cruise one "full" class had 2 people actually show up) so you can try dropping in.  You can also do this for the cooking classes if you want to stand outside and wait. Let the chef know you are just waiting to see if there are any no shows.

They are going on Sirena so no Culinary Center,  but that strategy is valid on  Marina, Riviera and Vista.  Although on our Vista cruise the 2 classes we took were full.

Thanks for your advice - appreciated
