Bohemian Posted September 11, 2012 Author #51 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Is there a C2 on the Emerald Princess? Would love to know if it has a card reader too. Many thx. :) I was on the Emerald last year and they didn't have a rower of any kind. Have a great cruise and let us know if you find a C2 on board. I was told that some cruise lines (who don't have them yet) are considering adding them to their ships. I'll be on the Equinox on Friday and I'm pretty sure they'll have at least one C2D just like the Solstice. ;) Edited September 11, 2012 by Bohemian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no rowing machine on the Equinox, I guess not all ships are equal. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted December 3, 2012 #53 Share Posted December 3, 2012 There are 2, count 'em t-w-o, C2s on the new Carnival Breeze--E's with PM4s. No one uses them. Or if they do it's those 2-5 minutes at 35 spm going 230-700 meters (someone did a 4 minute workout at a 41 spm averaging 34 watts:eek:). I finished a workout one day and went back to Memory to write down workout (didn't bring log card) and lo and behold the prior work out on the machine was the one I did 25 hours earlier. Usually there were one or two between but only saw one other 30 minute session and that was just over a 6K. I'll post a picture when I get them sorted out.

BeachyBrowns Posted January 17, 2013 #54 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I have recently gotten into erging as a time-effective means of doing cardio, and I hoped CB would have an erg I could use, but apparently not. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachyBrowns Posted January 28, 2013 #55 Share Posted January 28, 2013 UPDATE: There IS a C2 erg on board Caribbean Princess! It was great to see, but unfortunately I was prevented from using it on a couple of occasions by people ill-skilled for the task (i.e. pulling ~200 watts @ 30 spm). Nonetheless, it was great not to have to use the treadmill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aks753 Posted March 27, 2013 #57 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Does anyone know if there is a c2 on the Oasis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted April 8, 2013 Author #58 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Just off the Ocean Princess. It's a smaller ship with a smaller gym but everything is there including one C2 - D rower. 4 of the 5 treadmills were working. Many cable loaded machines - most equipment was by Precor and a full set of dumbbells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted April 8, 2013 Author #59 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Does anyone know if there is a c2 on the Oasis? They had 2 C2 - E's on the Allure so I would expect the same on the Oasis. Let us know what you find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aks753 Posted April 21, 2013 #60 Share Posted April 21, 2013 They had 2 C2 - E's on the Allure so I would expect the same on the Oasis. Let us know what you find out. So, Oasis had one Model E. The tension on the handle was very low, the shock cord needs to be replaced, so it was not of much use to me. I've found that gyms often do not know how to take care of the C2.

Thanks for getting back to us with the info. That's too bad the machine was in such a bad condition, did you mention it to one of the officers? I just sold my 15 year old model C, it took less than 30 minutes after the ad was published. They're very popular. Now I can get a new model D with PM4. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have my model C - it's about 18 years old and still kicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted January 11, 2014 Author #63 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Hello, we just booked our next cruise on the Celebrity Silhouette. Has anybody been on it recently and can tell me if there is a Concept II onboard? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian Posted October 7, 2014 Author #64 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Just back off the Silhouette and they do have a model - D in great working condition. Not too many people were using it so I got to spend a bit of quality time with it. :D I'll make a list of all the ships that I know of that have the C2 machines.

PtownGirlz-NH Posted October 8, 2014 #65 Share Posted October 8, 2014 so i hate to sound ridiculous... but I am one of those people who have no idea what to do on a rower, but love to try new things at a gym. We are going on the Caribbean and would love to know what to do so that you guys won't be making fun of me here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going on the Caribbean and would love to know what to do so that you guys won't be making fun of me here!!! You don't sound ridiculous at all. The Concept 2 rower is a piece of equipment that has to be used properly to get the full benefit of it. With proper technique, it safely provides a full body workout that you won't get on any other machine. (I should be selling these things... :D ) I think the fastest way for new users to understand how it works and how to use it is to watch a video on youtube. Since we can't post links here, when you get to the youtube site, just add 'concept 2 rowing technique' in the search field. The first 2 or 3 results that come up should give you a pretty good idea. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
