Will I gain weight on a cruise vacation?

A lot of people are concerned about gaining too much weight from going on a cruise, because there is so much emphasis placed on the value of all the inclusive food, but that really depends on the individual. If you're the kind of person that eats everything that's on the table and you don't exercise, and you don't do anything else, my guess is that you'll probably put on a few pounds on a cruise. However, one of the wonderful things about today's cruise ships is the incredible fitness center facilities available; there are a lot of walks organized around the desks of the ships, and there are fitness centers that rival any land based spas or fitness work out areas. You can be as fit as you want to be.
