jogging allowed on Caribbean Princess Promenade deck?

Our first 2 cruises were on Princess where we ran/jogged on the
Promenade deck. On our last 2 cruises (on HAL), they would not allow
jogging on the Promenade deck (presumably because of noise). Does
anyone know if jogging is allowed on the Promenade deck of the
Caribbean Princess? I know they show a "jogging track" on their deck
plan but it looks pretty small. Thanks, Helen

Hello, Helen.

This isn't a clear answer (sorry about that) but I never saw a
prohibition on it on any of my 3 Princess voyages (Coral, Diamond, Sun).

Seems Princess loves to close a deck to sport for deck chairs for
sunbathers. So you goto another deck to job, speed walk, as I do, or
whatever. They even had deck chairs over the deck games on the
Golden...............

Best way to tell is if you look at the deck plans . . . are there cabins
directly UNDER the jogging track/promenade? If so, mostly likely there will
be none or limited hours available. Imagine having to listen to 'thump,
thump, thump' every 5 minutes or so for a stretch of time, way too early in
the am when you're on vacation!!!!! (somehow I see someone inserting their
own joke here)

If the track is on one of the upper or top decks, make sure to do your jog
early in the day, or else you'll be fighting the deck chairs.

Also - if you get in early enough to your ports, would you consider doing
your run on land? Some ports that seem to be suited for this is Cozumel and
St Thomas with their long sidewalks along the water?

Trust me, this is one of the things that I made a strong effort
to avoid. ...but to the best of my recollection -- the upper
deck (16?) jogging track was closed during the day -- to make
more room for deck chairs, and joggers were invited to use the
promenade deck during those times.

I can't recall if the promenade deck was available at all times
for jogging, or just during the day.

I think I saw about three people jogging, while there was a big
sign up sheet to use the treadmills. This puzzled me.

I am told that treadmills are "softer". In addition, you can watch
TV. Making treadmill running the exercise for active couch potatoes.
The exercise for inactive couch potatoes is the 12 oz curl.

There are outside cabins on Plaza deck that would be affected by
joggers, especially the early morning variety.

Whoa! Certainly my bad! My excuse...

On the Princess deck plan page for the Caribbean Princess, when you
choose a deck to view from the drop-down box, the choices are in
alphabetical order. I thought they were in order from the bottom up, as
Sun Deck is the last entry.

Candy -- prefers it when the cabin number starts with the deck number

Plaza is deck five, and Promenade is deck seven. If the folks on
Plaza are hearing you run, you need to do a lot more running.
