Can anyone please help me with finding out what sports facilities there are in board... I know there is a gym. If anyone knows the size of the pools and is it possible to do a proper lane swim? Also are there any racquet sports on board?
Any help would be appreciated
TIA

Re: Sports facilities
The only thing every ship has in common is that the pools are really tiny, so no proper swimming.
They are more for taking a dip.
All have a gym and most have an outdoor area but don’t expect too much.
It is after all a moving ship.

Lane Swimming? You must be Quackers Goose 
…It’s been a long time since we last cruised but even then, (depending on the Ship) there was an open-air sports court, golf nets/simulator, table tennis (normally just one table) and of course the gym…clubs, rackets, balls all supplied.

Re: Sports facilities
Two table tennis tables on Aurora (last time we were on.) & 3 on Ventura.
Don’t forget quoits & shuffle board.
Deck tennis (the proper sort) has disappeared since the departure of Lord Sterling.

Re: Sports facilities
Gooseo8, there are sport facilities on Ventura and Azura. The swimming pools are big enough to get reasonable lengths in for a workout, just to name two ships.
Other than school holidays pools should be O K.
I prefer just the pools and watch the rest from a sun lounger.

Don't worry, be happy
