CntPAcruiser Posted January 12, 2019 #52 Share Posted January 12, 2019 On 10/28/2018 at 3:25 PM, billybeachboy said: I've recently spent a week on RCCL's Navigator of the Seas (my second cruise on this ship) & found the male only Sauna/steam facility to still be in place - just to the left of the gym jacuzzi. It has good sized sauna & steam rooms with a plentiful supply of towels. Cleaning was a little lacking at times during the week, but otherwise a great facility used by me everyday. 🙂 My understanding is that since the most recent refurbishment of Navigator (the so-called Amping), the original fitness center is completely gone and in its place is a smaller version, and if there are lockers rooms other than in the spa, they no longer have free saunas/steam rooms. The only sauna/steam room will be in a thermal suite for a fee. It's so sad to hear that they've destroyed one Voyager-class ship, and it looks like all the Voyager- and Freedom-class ships are scheduled for "Amping." It's not clear, however, if they will all lose the wonderful fitness centers and locker rooms in the name of adding more staterooms and making the sauna/steam room a profit center instead of a free amenity.

willcan Posted January 12, 2019 #53 Share Posted January 12, 2019 If Royal roles this version of "amping" out to all of their ships I'll be looking for a new line to cruise with. I love Royal but they continue to make choices that offer lower value. All the ships should not be the same. Some Co ed some single sex . That way passengers can choose the best ship for THEM. Also I would much rather pay a slightly higher cruise fare than be nickle and dimed once on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybeachboy Posted January 13, 2019 #54 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Willcan I agree with you, I am a bit fed up with being 'nickle and dimed ' on board, RCCL is the worst at this of the cruise lines that I use, everywhere on board it's sell sell sell & it gets very tiresome. I choose my ship according to the sauna/spa layout & I refuse to pay for it's use, after all one would not pay extra in a 4* & above hotel for the use of similar facilities. As time passes I fear that RCCL will lose my custom as will other lines that follow the same pattern of withdrawing the facility - I'll go back to land based holidays.

That is the difficult thing. I try to look on the page on Vacations to Go it see when a ship is last renovated to determine whether to do more checking. ......and probably you can't rely on the ship deck plans as they may not update them speedily.

johngjoyce Posted August 27, 2019 #62 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Is this still being updated after refurbishments like discussed regarding The Navigator? I've just been on Celebrity Infinity and the free sauna in the men's locker room was one of my favourite parts. I know the Celebrity Fleet is getting a revolution with refurbishments over next few years. Does anyone know if the free sauna is still present on Celebrity Millennium after the refurbishment?

My understanding is the nice big free saunas with windows to the ocean on all the M class ships were being replaced with small interior saunas that only hold about 4 people. Seems like a major downgrade to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngjoyce Posted August 28, 2019 #64 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Infinity is still pre revolution so I was enjoying the ocean views. Agree that the move to a small interior sauna is a downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The floor plan plan does not shows any changes to the men's spa area on Mariner but it does for the Navigator, Explorer and Freedom (Royal has both the current and future floor plans up now). Based on that I think it is safe to assume the Mariner was spared just like the Independence. These were the first 2 ships to be "Amped". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wor1dTrave11er Posted November 18, 2019 #68 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Does anyone happen to know whether there are any free sauna/steam rooms on MSC Lirica or MSC Orchestra? It appears they both have MSC Aurea Spa after the refurbs, but some deck plans show 2 saunas in different locations - are any of these possibly attached to the lockers/showers and free? Lirica is sister ship to Armonia, Sinfonia, and Opera, and Orchestra is sister to Musica, Poesia, and Magnifica - any information about any of these ships would be appreciated!

HLR Unlike the Carnival Sunshine the Sunrise DOES NOT have a free sauna in the Men's locker Room. Instead, they put a small CO-ED sauna right as you enter the area for the Spa/gym Locker rooms. There's no sign to indicate it's there and it's not advertised or highlighted. Sometimes it's not even working and the Safety Door is closed. It's as if they don't want anyone to use it. I suspect they will do the same thing on the Radiance refurb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchYngMuscleDad Posted February 13, 2020 #75 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I am booked on June 15th, before I booked a specially asked if there were separate male and female sauna/steam rooms, and they said yes. If there is no men's sauna is there a steam room? If so how large? If I book the day spa are there separated cavities there?
