Weird Millennium unisex sauna

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.

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.

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

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.

Boarding the Millie this Friday- sure hope they get it all worked out by then!

We board the following week. If it isn't fixed, I won't go.
