Rare geoherb Posted January 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2013 On the Westerdam last month, we enjoyed the thermal suite and hydro pool. But I have a question about the steam rooms. A description I found from a 2006 review said that there were three steam rooms, each with a different aromatherapy scent. Is each of those three rooms supposed to have steam? We experienced one with eucalyptus and one with peppermint, but the third one did not have any steam and did not have any detectable scent.

kcscrapper Posted January 11, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2013 On the Zuiderdam in December, there were 3 little rooms: one a dry sauna and two steam rooms. The first had an eucalyptus scent and the other so hot that it seared any smelling ability before a scent could be discerned. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
496and706 Posted January 11, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2013 On the Noordam, one room is a cold "quiet meditation" room. I asked one of the ladies at the front desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been in my share of steam rooms in men's health clubs, and have never experienced a temperature like that one. I was glad none of my buddies were with me, else it would have turned into a macho endurance thing, with potential fatal consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted January 14, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I wonder if the cold "quiet meditation room" was designed as such, or did the ladies at the front desk get creative and rename it that after it stopped working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
