Thanks for the reply. And yes, having just gotten off the Independence of the Sea I am happy to confirm that the free men's only saunas (dry and wet) are fully functional! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexdw Posted January 4, 2023 #1553 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Looking at a cruise on MSC Divina in Feb out of Miami. Can anyone who has been on this ship tell me if there is a mens sauna and steam and if so where are they located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve3008 Posted January 4, 2023 #1554 Share Posted January 4, 2023 MSC Preziosa ? Can anyone share info on this ship? Also curious if YC has separate work out facilities? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birmingham Cruisers Posted January 8, 2023 #1555 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Currently on Rotterdam. Men’s sauna is a great space for up to six men. Quiet most times I have visited, doesn’t seem to be used much. Any other sauna users on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanksgiving week on Koningsdam was crazy busy, with more than 6 guys most times with plenty of stimulating conversation. Others on this board can attest to that! But the following week was crickets! Wierd... BTY - Got a survey from Celebrity about their spa facilities asking for suggestions to improve their offering. I blasted them for deliberately NOT including single-sex saunas or other options in their Edge class ships and said I refuse to book any of their new ships until they fix them. Co-ed only does NOT work for me!!! Rant over... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son and I are fortunate to have sauna and steam in our home, once you get used to that, it is like part of your routine! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Summit have single sex saunas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but Celebrity gutted the formerly wonderful sauna in Infinity and Summit and added about 10 cabins in that space. They did install a smaller (no window to the sea) single-sex sauna during their "upgrade" ☹ We're on Summit in mid-May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Infinity (along with Constellation) still has the large sauna with window as the planned “upgrade”” was postponed owing to Covid. Millennium and Summit, however, had already been “upgraded” so now have the smaller windowless sauna. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they NEVER touch the men's sauna on Infinity and Constellation! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now there's no windows to the sea but they now have windows to the locker room!! We'll be on Constellation for 25 days in October/November so looking forward to some sauna time while there. Don't expect any changes to the sauna before 2025. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bejwee Posted January 13, 2023 #1567 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Just getting settled in for a short 3 day run on NCL Pearl. I took a tour of the thermal suite facility already and it is pretty spectacular. The deck plan on the website would indicate what I have attached and it is still 100% accurate. Looking fwd to spending time enjoying the sauna's incredible views! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailerjosh22 Posted January 15, 2023 #1575 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I’ll be on the Diamond Princess from April 20 - 29 in Japan. I believe the sauna and steam is single sex and free. Anyone else planning to be on this cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
