Premontre65 Posted December 31, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2008 With the Sanctuary now occupying the Sports deck forward I see that the jogging track is now on the Star deck aft. It looks much smaller on the deck plans. Has anyone used the jogging track in this new location? What is your opinion of it? Also, where will the jogging track go as they add the Sanctuary to existing ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afiremedic323 Posted December 31, 2008 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2008 If it's anything like the Emerald it's 16 laps around for a mile, It made me dizzy, I gave up running outside and hit the gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premontre65 Posted December 31, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted December 31, 2008 That's what I was afraid of. With 16 laps to the mile it seems like you're always in a turn. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted January 1, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Yes I agree, much too small on the Crown/Emerald/Ruby. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_dylaness Posted January 1, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I am really disappointed in the removal of the jogging track... we were on the CB twice, most recently a couple months ago, and really enjoyed the jogging track almost on a daily basis. Much more than I think we will ever enjoy the sanctuary, but I guess that makes $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickEk Posted January 1, 2009 #8 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Jog on the Promenade... there it's only 2 or 3 times around for a mile. The signs are usually posted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_dylaness Posted January 1, 2009 #9 Share Posted January 1, 2009 IIRC they ask people NOT to jog on the promenade deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1313 Posted January 1, 2009 #10 Share Posted January 1, 2009 One good thing about the new location of the jogging track is maybe people will actually be able to jog without having to dodge everyone that just goes out for a stroll....

Sox Fan Cruiser Posted January 1, 2009 #11 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The new location of the jogging track is horrible. Not only is it 16 times around for a mile (I always lose track of what lap I'm on!!) but it's not very wide. In spots I found it hard to pass (or, in my case, be passed:cool:) by other people. I gave up and went to gym. But that's hard too because every one gave up and it's so crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrunner Posted January 1, 2009 #12 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Jog on the Promenade... there it's only 2 or 3 times around for a mile. The signs are usually posted too. Is it possible to jog all the way around the Crown Promenade without stopping. No doors/gates etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rundent Posted January 1, 2009 #13 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Does anyone know what the situation is on the Island. Once did some Marathon training on a regular track and ran 20 miles - staggered off. Back to the roads after that. Don't want to hear that the gym is crowded. Might be particularly bad considering the cruise is 1/13 and people will still be sticking with their new year's resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcacace Posted January 1, 2009 #14 Share Posted January 1, 2009 IIRC they ask people NOT to jog on the promenade deck. Not only that but it seems that the promenade is where all the smokers go for their hourly fixes. We like to walk the the promenade deck but it's disgusting to have to put up with the almost constant stream of smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, there are still walkers and looky loos to deal with in a much smaller space. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_dylaness Posted January 1, 2009 #17 Share Posted January 1, 2009 It stops me :) Which is a shame, because as I walk the promenade (when I'd really rather be running) I spend lots of time getting out of the way and dodging the joggers. Kind of unfair, but I don't want to be one that's contributing to the mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doors/gates etc. Yes, although you have to go up and down a set of stairs at the bow. And, at night, there will be gates at the stairs that will be closed. And as others have said, power-walking would probably be more appropriate on the Promenade than jogging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of unfair, but I don't want to be one that's contributing to the mess. Jogging on the promenade deck is prohibited because the constant thump thump of running (as opposed to walking) disturbs those who have rooms directly below, especially at 8 am.
