Do you know if the Jade, Gem or Pearl are still a good choice? I was on the pearl just a couple months ago and it was still intact and excellent.

willcan Posted June 24, 2023 #1802 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Thanks for the update. Does the Pearl have great free amenities or is an extra fee required to make it worth it? If required, do you know how much the extra fee is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought some sort of a thermal suite pass for the week and it was definitely worth it. Dont recall how much, 150 maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybeachboy Posted June 24, 2023 #1804 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I disembarked Celebrity Silhouette today & am pleased to say the FREE single sex sauna is still in place in the mens spa/gym locker room. This locker room is well hidden to the right of & slightly behind the spa reception desk. The facility was well used all week, it is very brightly lit which to me is a little off putting as lighting should be subdued in a sauna. The attendant passed through every 15 minutes or so to ensure all was kept clean & tidy! See my post no. 1135 in this thread for images. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe these pictures and information are outdated regarding the Dawn. Those pictures are still accurate. If you look at the deck plan for the Dawn, you can see the thermal suite at the aft on Deck 10. Not free with only a coed area in the center. Sauna and steam room are in the locker rooms, as shown above. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs Fans Posted June 25, 2023 #1808 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I am guessing there is nothing to get excited about the men’s steam/sauna on Celebrity Summit any longer? I really enjoyed the large portholes before Summit was “improved.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issues with adding new features, I just do not support taking things away. Have you cruised on the Pinnacle Class yet? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed the large portholes before Summit was “improved.” The sauna on the Summit is small, but adequate. It can fit about 3-4 guys comfortably and there are some nice showers to cool off in. No water fountain or anything, so bring a bottle of water. I did two 5 day back to back cruises in January and the first sailing was very active and the second sailing it was rarely used. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseMsclDad Posted June 27, 2023 #1816 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Just saw a great deal on two RCCL ships, the Mariner of the Seas and the Adventure of the Seas. I can't see the sauna spread sheet anymore, is it confirmed recently that these ships still have the same sauna/steam layout?

Rag2 Posted July 11, 2023 #1819 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Anyone have past experience with NCL Escape? I know there is only a Co-Ed Thermal Spa area. Were you able to still find conversations with like minded men, or was the thermal pass not worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mitch I was on the Mariner in October of 22, everything was as it should be, despite the steam not really functioning. I think it and the explorer were in for rehab this past winter - but I believe the facilities at least on the explorer have been reported intact.

There's a tiny free one on Sky, but everything is co-ed and costs on Encore. Not free on Sky anymore and nobody there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
