A big thanks to @CruiseMsclDad for providing me with a .pdf of the database with all the data! Still some tweaking to do but it is good to go. A friendly reminder to all users to the database... ******* Best viewed on desktop or laptop. (using a mouse) Steam/Sauna Database As a reminder to all, ANY change you make to the database is auto-saved. There is no temporary change while you are on it. That means if you highlight ships to compare them. It is permanent. If you change the formatting of the data in any way, it stays that way when you exit. The DB then needs to be cleaned up (not that hard to do) but still takes time. Enjoy! Too kind too kind! Always happy to help anyone with a sauna/steam room help!

Yes, That's why I included all the information about the silversea dawn in my above post. Could you add the ship? I don't want to mess up the spreadsheet using my phone.

Rag2 Posted September 10, 2023 #1915 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Traveling on NCL Jade in November. I obviously got the thermal pass but also noticed they have a free sauna by the gym. When is the best time to check out the free sauna versus using the thermal spa? I don’t want to miss any good conversations. Any one else been on Jade can offer any other good insight or suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sauna and steam are still available and free Let's hope they stay that way. There's mention here of a drydock. Hopefully the so-called amplification will be a sad memory for the time being. It's a shame they destroyed Freedom, Voyager, and Navigator. Freedom was one of our favorite ships, and now we'll avoid her because of what they did to the fitness center/locker rooms. Adventure and Explorer were only spared because of COVID, and maybe for at least a while they won't be able to ruin them the way they did Voyager.

I was recently on the Emerald Princess. It had a refurbishment in the Netherlands after the ship was used to house Ukrainian refugees,which took away the locker room sauna/steam. I realize that one doesn't always know the dates or what will be involved in dry (or wet) dock, but sometimes a dry dock makeover is announced or published.

Rare natefish95 Posted September 19, 2023 #1919 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Just got back from the Norwegian Jewel. That class of ship still has the best setup at sea for a spa. It was a perfect place to see the glaciers and Alaskan scenery without having to go into the cold/rain or battling crowds. It was well-used all week, but never too crowded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauna director Posted September 23, 2023 #1923 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Just a note on the "free steam and sauna": If you use the cruise lines deck plans, they may not be up to date. We just experienced the Emerald Princess where the cruise line stated that there WAS free steam and sauna because they didn't change the plans after a refurbishment. They told us and our agent that the locker room had these amenities. They did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine has recently returned from a cruise on Emerald Princess, he like you booked the ships because it had the free single sex facility & was annoyed to find it had been removed. Speaking/complaining to a member of crew about this he was told that Princess will not be removing the free facility from any other ships because of the large amount of complaints they have received. Time will tell if this is true or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauna director Posted September 24, 2023 #1925 Share Posted September 24, 2023 How many of the older Princess still have the "free" areas? I think all the gang who enjoy these facilities should ask the cruise lines to put it in writing that we will have these facilities...before booking. Maybe the lines will take notice that not everyone wants slides and rides. Mature, retired cruisers are a very large market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
