On a cruise ship, such as the Carnival Valor, you can easily keep fit walking the length of the ship as part of your daily routine. This ship is 1000 feet in length and although there are banks of elevators to take you from one deck to the other, why not forego them for a day and opt for the stairs instead. In addition to these methods of staying fit on the cruise, there are also glorious ways of engaging in fitness whenever you feel the urge.

There are three pools for adults, two of which are on Deck 9 with adjacent whirlpools. A third pool on Deck 10 has a waterslide and a splash pool. Children enjoy the wading pool located just outside Camp Carnival, the location of the children’s programs on this ship.



The entire Spa Deck is devoted to fitness and wellness. The gym contains the latest in fitness equipment and there are enough of them in this location that if you do have to wait for one to become free, you won’t have to wait very long. Work out with free weights, use the elliptical machines, stairsteppers and treadmills to make sure you tone up your muscles and give your body a cardio workout. There are rooms where you can attend aerobics or Yoga classes, taught by a trained fitness expert.

Have a workout program designed for your individual needs by the resident personal trainer. In this way, you can continue with your routine when you return home. This service does incur an additional cost, but it is reasonable and well worth it.

Indulge in the pampering offered in the Olympiad Spa with its full range of treatment options. You will think that you are attending a spa on land and you have all the time in the world to enjoy the facilities. Plus there is a beauty salon where you can have your hair styles or have a manicure or pedicure.

Take your daily walk on the padded walking/jogging track on Deck 11 where you won’t have to step around any chairs or tables. The glorious view from this track will keep you entranced so that you won’t even realize you walked a lot farther than you intended. Nine circuits of this track are equal to one mile. Also located on this deck is a basketball and volleyball court where you can practice your skills or challenge your friends to a workout extraordinaire.

Enhance your golf game with the golf simulator or take lessons from the golf expert on every cruise.

The various opportunities for fitness on the Carnival Valor make sure that you can burn off the extra calories you consume in the delicious meals.
