MN Cruiser Dude

Here are some pictures from my cruise in December last year. I believe it is still there. The streamroom is insanely hot. I can usually handle a long steam but my skin was burning. The sauna is moderately warm. Gets busy in the morning and mid afternoons.

Good to know. Did you spend more time in the sauna or steam room?

I did not realize they removed the sauna and steam room from the freedom. Glad I went with the Independence. Do you know if the temperatures are reasonable. I was just on the Caribbean Princess. The steam room there melts your skin off.

I’m heading on the independence of the seas at the end of August. I checked the spreadsheet before I booked and saw that it has single-gender/sex sauna and steam room. Has anyone been on the ship recently?

Here are some current pictures from the Crown Princess

I am heading on the Nov 5 sailing. Looking forward to both the sauna and steam room

Just was on the ship. The sauna and steam room were very popular at times. Lockers, drinking fountain and showers were all great. The steam room was insanely hot. Most people only lasted a few minutes at most. Sauna is moderate size and had 8 guys in it. It was a very nice setup. Front room has large changing area with combo lockers, wrap around bench, towels and door that leads to restrooms to the immediate right. Straight head was a second room with 2 showers to the left, one to the right. There is a middle wall that blocks views to the sauna and steam room. Steam room has a frosted door and the sauna has a tinted door that is transparent. Attendants clean the area and check the sauna temps throughout the day. I will def cruise on that ship again. Bring water!

Thanks for the update. Heading out on the summit in a week and look forward in checking it out daily.
