With the delicious food served in the restaurants on the Balmoral, the ship is well-equipped with fitness facilities so that you can work off the extra calories you consume. The two pools provide you with ample opportunities to swim laps at your leisure. This ship has a new pool, which guests claim is the most beautiful one of all the cruise ships with its elegant tiles. There are two whirlpools located quite close to each of the pools as well where you can soak and relax your muscles. On hot sunny days, you do have to make sure you wear a hat because there is no shade from the sun on the pool decks.

If a daily walk is what you crave, the Balmoral will satisfy you in this regard as well. The wrap around Promenade deck has a walking track from which you have spectacular views of the sea. On windy days, though, the forward part of this deck is inaccessible. The aft contains tables and chairs where you can stop and take a rest as you enjoy the view.




Check out the gym where you will find state of the art fitness equipment. Although it is small, it does have everything you need for a great workout at sea. Resistance training equipment allows you to work out the various muscle groups of your body and there are cross trainers and treadmills as well. Take a class in yoga, Pilates or aerobics and get started on an exercise routine that you can continue when you return home.
Indulge yourself with a spa treatment or two. The spa, which is located on Deck 10, offers a wide assortment of treatments and once you have one, you will likely want to try several others, such as a Balinese massage or a stone massage. Keep your skin in perfect condition with a facial or a hot mud wrap or detoxify your body with one of the specialties offered onboard the Balmoral.

Practice your golf driving skills with the nets on Deck 11. This location also contains table tennis and ping pong tables and a shuffle board.

Whatever your fitness needs are when you are cruising, the Balmoral will surely satisfy them.
