What ships have the best gyms? Sometimes they say fabulous spa/gym when in actuality it is just a good spa but not really much useful in the fitness area...

Do you remember a specific ship that stands out in your mind as having a fabulous gym and what was the worst one you saw? any pictures would be cool to see as well

I will start:

Liberty of the Seas - had an AWESOME gym! lots of cardio so never any waiting. Plenty of weight machines and decent amount of free weights. I only wish they had more equipment to get a good leg workout in...but then that is what the waverider can do!

Carnival's Holiday- HORRIBLE excuse for a gym! Out of the 12 or so pieces of very old cardio equipment only 3 worked properly. No weight machines and very few free weights that were mismatched all in the space the size of my kitchen. I was SOOO disappointed.

I tried the one on the liberty and it was fabulous. Plenty of treadmills and weight machines and exercise balls; everything you would expect from a gym. It's a great way to start the day =)
