Are the Sauna and Steam co-ed too or just the thermal pool?

Thank you JSR... I tend to run cold so hoping double socks, boots and those foot warmers you snap and put in your socks, if necessary will make it 'fun' .. Alaska in May! Can't wait. Looking forward to giving it a go for at least 1 in every bar!

Thanks for the info and your review ... sounds great.

"We have had several cold days. Glad I brought warm clothes even if I only wore then for a few days." Could you fill us in on how things are when it's cold/glacier weather? We will be on the Nova in Alaska... How was the Grill on these cold evenings? and of course the outdoor bars!!

Is there lounge chairs or just chairs to relax in before and after your treatment? From pictures on other SSC ships it looks like there are really lovely relaxation areas. This space appears very bright? Also.. are there showers in the locker room? I saw that the jetted jacuzzi pool with the large window is coed.. but unclear if sauna and other amenities are. TIA!

I took screen shots of all my reservations that show the original time and price. I understand some of the time changes... ex: originally the train was to be at 7am.. which seemed very early and the time we were to dock.... it has now been updated to 9am. We too had another excursion move from morning to mid afternoon... and that seems to be the only time it is offered. I am keeping it as it is the excursion I wanted to go on. They most likely honor the original price (if you can show them what it was when you originally booked) as they did with La Dame etc for those that booked before the prices went up on the Nova.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful and clear information about trying to upgrade tickets!

Flying from SFO to ANC (Alaska ) next year. Have been told no business class is being offered. How do I go about 1) picking our seats for our flights booked thru SSAir .. have assigned flights in my.ss booking page but no confirm number as of yet, I think I won't get those until 120 days out??? and 2)Is there a way to pay for an upgrade either using cash or points? TIA

Are there showers in the spa area?... I have seen from photos and video the lockers, steam room and indoor coed whirlpool.. but are there showers in the women's locker room?

Thank you for posting items available but .... Shampoo, conditioner, cotton swabs $???? etc... some of these item on this list ...aren't they normally gratis?

Silverair booked flights that seem out of the way.. and not great times.. SFO-PHX-ANC 2024... arriving in ANC at 11:45pm... Same airline/Alaska has many other flights that day so we could arrive earlier and at least have the afternoon in ANC. If I ask for a different flight time, will I be charged the $150 fee? I am also being told there are no upgrades to purchase thru SilverAir for our flight from SFO- ANC. Can I use my own $ or points to upgrade? TIA

W ould you happen to have a video of the bathroom?

https://www.cruisespecialists.com/blogs/first-impressions-of-silver-nova/ found one on here... shower looks ok size.. but not as large as the drawing makes it out to be.. and the tub looks smaller. The giant shower with the built in bench is looking pretty good to me.

Does anyone know if there are showers in the Spa? I have seen the steam, sauna and whirlpool.
