Thank you for response. That’s a shame there isn’t one

On Royal Princess in April next year for 3 weeks, is there a male only steam or sauna on board?

Currently on Celebrity Infinity, small sauna in men’s changing room deck 10 front.

Large round window looks out to the ocean. 

Large open shower for 2 persons in front of sauna, a further 3 in changing room
usage in sauna varies, guys with and without towels on, some in shorts.

Feel free to email about the Steam, sauna etc - jjhollis@hotmail.com

I've never been shy with my naked body & struggle to understand whay anyone would be in a single sex setting.

I agree, we have what we have why be ashamed or try to hide it?

I was on the Carnival Glory in January. It has a single sex steam and sauna both with windows looking out to see. Also a seated area in changing room. There are also about 5 showers including a disabled one.

The steam sauna was never full

Does anyone have any experience with Carnival ships? I only have experience with Carnival Splendor that has a shared pool and steam rooms and a small sauna in the men’s locker room.

I am on Celebrity Infinity from 4th April and will go in search of Sauna etc.

I will update here with the result.

Anyone in Celebrity Infinity 4th April from Buenos Aires to Rio?

Going on the Infinity 4th April from Buenos Aires.

Just back from cruise on Carnival Glory.

there is a free steamroom and sauna situated in the Spa area. Both are quite large but was surprised that very few guys used them

on Celebrity Infinity in 9 weeks, hope either on the ship and more guys use them

I am on Carnival Glory from 15th January and looking forward to using Steamroom and sauna facilities. Hope others get to use same.

also on Celebrity Infinity from 4th April and hope to use same there.

Has anyone got a bars menu? Just looking to see if it will be cheaper to buy individual drinks from bars or take up the Drinks package which for 7 days cruise is £700 for the two of us.

Does anyone know cost of bottles of wines?

I usually go to steam/sauna between 4-5.30 pm, usually a good time to go. Varied guys in there, all ages, shapes and sizes. Time for all nationalities to meet its great.

Has anyone sailed on the Carnival Glory and Royal Princess?

do either have free steamroom and sauna and if so are they single sex or coed?

Has anyone been on the Sky Princess? Does it have steam and sauna and if so are they separate ones?

We are due to doing the above cruise in Feb 22, staying a few nights in Cambodia and Vietnam post and pre cruise. As yet the flights have not been booked. ATP have not given any update and I am sceptical this cruise is going to go ahead. Has anyone got any information?

The balance of holiday is due mid Mid December, should we pay?

Can you get Drink Packages on Carnival Cruise Ships?

We are sailing on the ATP Travelvega boat on the Danube 15th April next year. The boat looks fantastic and looking forward to going on our first river cruise. We just hope it goes ahead.

Anyone else here going on this cruise?

Am possibly looking at a cruise on the Azamara Pursuit, does anyone know if there is a men only steam/sauna?

I have been on the Quest and there is a steam/sauna there.

I have been on many cruise ships but only book a ship which has separate men only sauna/steam. Had made many good uses of them and its just nice to chill, relax, put the world together with other guys without any women nagging us etc

I will rephrase, it’s 18% on drinks. It is a lot especially when you see how expensive bottles of wine are. You will be lucky to get a bottle under $30

We have just spent a week on the Ruby Princess on the West Coast of America. This was our 4th Princess Cruise and we felt a little disappointed in all honesty. The ship was no issue, the crew were just as good, but we found the costs on board the ship have increased quite a lot. Each purchase on the ship, drink etc you pay an additional 18% service charge. We have previously purchased wine packages on board usually on embarkation, but these are no longer available. We were offered a drinks package, which worked out at £700 or $840, per couple, this was to us very expensive, there is no way in a week we would drink that amount of alcohol. Bottles of wine we found very expensive, we paid $44  for a bottle of Malbec. The menu is the dining rooms has changed slightly and I can understand them wanting to try out new things, like eating a Crowne Grill steak in Da Vinci and Marco Angelo restaurant but at additional cost $19.99+, there used to be a steak on the favourites menu each night, but now having to pay extra does not seem fair. 

We enjoyed the cruise very much, but it is the little things which were not there we noticed more. It would appear that more and more cruise ships are cutting back or introducing more ways to get money out of its customers. Would I cruise with Princess again, would have to think seriously, a lot of people have budgets and are not always prepared for all the little extras. I hope that Princess will listen to what people are saying, I spoke to many people on the ship who have sailed frequently with them and they too noticed how much things had changed on board with costs etc

On a positive note,  just love Vines, the staff there were amazing, Sheryl, Marc Anthony, Abdul and the chef who between them looked after us and all the customers. 

We are sailing on the Ruby Princess in March and possibly looking at a wine package when we get on board. Is anyone aware of one and what the possible cost of this is? Does any also know of any other drinks package other that soft drink which is offered on embarkation?
