b&wcruiser Posted July 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2022 is there still a sauna on the Explorer of the seas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted July 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I'm a huge steam and sauna person especially after a good workout. Months ago there was a list on CC called "RC ships with free steam rooms and saunas" which I printed out. It was dated February 25, 2021 and Explorer is still a ship with free sauna facilities. Unfortunately, I can't search for it now because their search function is not working right now. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CntPAcruiser Posted July 26, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Explorer was supposed to be "amplified" but that was canceled due to the pandemic, so thankfully for now she has been spared the refurb that has taken the excellent fitness center facilities and locker rooms from Voyager (I think), Navigator, and Freedom already. If they never get around to ruining Adventure and Explorer in the same way, or Liberty and Independence, I certainly wouldn't mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Lomas Posted July 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Everything I have read says that the sauna and steam room facilities still exist on the Explorer for free use. Fingers crossed. We sail on her in less than 2 weeks and this is one of the features I love about that class of ship before they refurbished them and removed them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use those showers in the morning after my morning walk before going to breakfast and the late afternoon after a port day or a day of being a lounge lizard in the sun before going out for the evening. The only time I use the shower in our cabin is in the evening before going to bed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, she’s scheduled to be “trAMPED” before our sailing. I hope they leave the gym, sauna, steam and change rooms intact. They ruined Navigator.

The men's steam room was not really working well. I was told it was not working at all previously, but it was not functioning properly during my week. Made me wonder if they are planning on removing it in the dry dock, so they do not bother to fully fix it now. Sure hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it up til day 3 or 4 and gave up on it after that for the rest of the cruise and stuck to the sauna (which worked well and was free 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love what they did to Navigator and I am still bummed they moved her away from Florida. I think she has the best slides of any RCI ship and the Bamboo Room is one of my favorite RCI bars. But I completely understand different people like different things on ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slides and Bamboo Room are great, they just botched the gym setup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
