Do you hit the gym every day? Or go get your weekly or monthly massage? I do the former, but wish I could the latter more often! When I go on a cruise I don’t want to get out of my routine of going to the gym. Thank goodness I don’t. And I may even treat myself to the spa and then tell my husband about it (after he has had a cocktail).
Norwegian Cruise Line has plenty of ways to increase and/or decrease your heart rate. All of the Norwegian ships have a jogging track high above the sea! So you are getting fresh air while getting in a good run or walk, not to mention some of the best sights in the world of beautiful islands and the ocean. Each ship’s track is a different length so be sure to ask one of the ship’s crew as to how many times around it takes to make a mile (most ships have a markers on the track as well). Some of the ships have a rock climbing wall. I don’t know about you, but just looking at it makes my heart rate increase!
If you prefer to get your exercise by playing a team sport, why not participate in a game of basketball, volleyball or tennis? All of this is available on the sport deck of the Norwegian ships.
Some of the newer ships even have bowling alleys! Although you may not get the most excruciating workout, it is some form of exercise and a lot of fun!
Now that you have had a good workout, it’s time to relax those muscles by going to the Mandara Spa for a massage, a facial or maybe you may want try acupuncture. There are many types of massages including the hot stone massage that will relax even the stiffest of muscles. I like the “Earth, Wind & Sky” massage, which is one that concentrates on your neck, scalp and face, followed hand and foot reflexology. Sounds wonderful, right?
Along with the spa treatments there are several salon favorites available as well. Including a manicure and/or pedicure, or treat yourself to having your hair done for one of the formal nights. Be sure to make your appointments early for those days. The spa can be a very popular place. I know I love it!
Do you indulge in spa treatments on your cruise? What’s your favorite?
