Cruise offering carries some weight
For those who wonder what new perks come from the fertile brains of cruise officials, the “Fun Ship” has an answer: the first outdoor weightlifting area on a cruise ship.
The new weight area is part of an outdoor sports zone called SportsSquare the line plans for its next vessel, the 3,690-passenger Carnival Magic. Currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy, the ship will debut in 2011.
In addition to outdoor weightlifting, Carnival says SportsSquare will feature the cruise industry’s first ropes course and the line’s first two-level miniature golf course.
Surrounded by an eighth-mile jogging track, the sprawling SportsSquare complex also will include a Vita exercise course; a lighted multi-purpose court for basketball, volleyball and soccer; and with ping pong and foosball tables.
