AZTX WORLD CRUISER Posted May 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Just returned from sailing on the Millennium May Trans-Pacific Cruise from Tokyo toVancouver. The woman’s sauna was non-operational for the second week of the cruise. As a result, the spa staff opted to convert the men’s sauna to a unisex sauna. This was extremely awkward as they left the men’s dressing area open. Access to the unisex sauna was through the pool door. Some Asian guests didn’tunderstand the process and female guests were washing swimming suits near the men’s showers and sinks as men were using the showers. The staff required bathing attire in the sauna which caused European male guests to get into altercations with female guests who didn’t like the fact that these men were only wearing towel cover-ups. The sauna experience is very different for men and woman. The woman wanted to chat endlessly and cover themselves in Vaseline and cold cream. It was extremely awkward and something I hope Celebrity doesn’t implement as a future direction of unisex saunas. A very unpleasant experience.

Fish Lover Posted May 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2017 This was a very odd solution. Rather, I would have expected them to set up a schedule of alternating hours for each gender to enjoy the sauna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted May 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Doubtful this is policy....seems like they were trying to accommodate everyone because one sauna was broken......I wouldn't look for this to be continued after the repair is made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted May 22, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 22, 2017 It sounds like they tried to make the best of the situation with an approach that could have worked had the passengers followed the interim rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
