Roger Doger Posted January 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I have created a list of ships with free steam and sauna. It seems like most of the new ships are charging for this and it can be very expensive. Please help by adding/changing any info you might have on any of these ships. Some new ships have not yet been added to the list. Please see attached. Hope this helps others! No need to spend hundreds extra for a spa pass if you can get this for free!

hotdog647 Posted January 11, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2018 What a great idea. It seems like more of the newer and biggest ships are skipping free spa/sauna/steam facilities and adding pay areas. Imagine that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted January 11, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2018 One problem, though, is that just because they have one doesn't mean it works. The men's sauna on the Zuiderdam did not work when we sailed on it last February. The spa staff kept telling me that someone was going to work on it.

twodjs Posted January 11, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Bummer about the Zuiderdam, geoherb! Just got off the Oosterdam crising Mexico - clean, well stocked and toasty warm every day. It was even kinda crowded at times :D. Of course, in such a small sauna, 5 is about the max. Packed in like sardines...very happy sardines. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodjs Posted January 11, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi Rog - Thanks for creating this spreadsheet. Sorry, don't have Excel on my tablet or desktop, so can't edit. All Holland America ships have free gender specific small saunas. None have free steam rooms. All have free locker rooms with multiple showers. Only Konningsdam has a sauna with a large window to ocean and multiple adjacent showers and cold bucket. Most Holland America ships do not have the sauna in the locker area - most are down a hall. All Celebrity ships have free saunas attached to their free locker rooms. No free steam rooms. Eclipse, Equinox, Reflection, Silhouette and Solstice have small/medium saunas with 3 adjacent showers. Constellation, Infinity and Millennium have large saunas with a large round window to the ocean, a couple of adjacent showers and other showers in the locker area. Other Celebrity ships listed have been sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like most of the new ships are charging for this and it can be very expensive. Please help by adding/changing any info you might have on any of these ships. Some new ships have not yet been added to the list. Thanks for putting this list together. I tried to add the information I have but excel would not let me update the worksheet it said it is locked. May I suggest you add a column to enter the date the information is posted so we know how current it is. Also it would be good to lock the top row so the row heading are always visible.

dan56 Posted March 7, 2018 #21 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hi Roger, I was also keeping a list of the RCL free saunas. In November of 2017 I was on the RCL Rhapsody of the Seas. It has a free sauna and steam room in the men's changing area. The steam room was of medium size fairly well lighted, but was very steamy. There were a lot of complaints that it was too hot. The sauna was fairly small holding at most 8 - 10 people. The room with the steam and sauna had three showers and an open gang shower the appeared not to work. There was a sink, cold water fountain, and a small bench. The changing room and restroom were separated by a door from the steam and sauna. The changing room was fairly small with a bench that would seat about 5 people. Out a rear door of the steam and sauna room was a very nice spa waiting relaxing area.

dan56 Posted March 7, 2018 #22 Share Posted March 7, 2018 In January I was on the RCL Grandeur of the Seas. It has both a free steam room and sauna in the men's changing area. The changing area and the restroom are in an adjacent room to the steam and sauna with no door. The changing area was fairly large with a large bench and a cold water fountain. The steam room was of medium size, dimly lit and very steamy. The sauna was very small. The steam and sauna room had three showers, a sink, and a small bench.
