We have read mixed results.... Wish us luck!😁 I had a GREAT time on Venezia back in November on the 12 day sailing. The little hot tub can comfortably fit 2 people. The only annoying thing is that the locker area is VERY tiny with only a little bench, so if there are 3 people there at once, it gets cramped. Also, the shower is no longer clear glass. They put a translucent covering over it halfway through my sailing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm that in the paid thermal area there are still separate men's and women's wet areas on either side of the ship with a coed area in the middle. Men's side still has an awesome sauna, small but working steam, single person hot tub, and single person cold plunge. Super disappointed at the crowd in there though, lots of people in suits yammering away that don't have spa etiquette. I sat in the sauna and steam naked on a towel, but there we're only other two folks on ship following suit. There is a small two to three person steam room attached to the gym in the men's bathroom, that was not super frequented either. It's a shame because so many people go on Royal Caribbean and the food is so much worse than NCL, although the entertainment is better. I’m going on the Pearl next week and I specifically chose this ship (as opposed to Scarlet Lady) for the spa thermal suite set up. Disappointing to hear most weren’t adhering to spa etiquette and dress code typical for single sex spa areas. I’m hoping on our full cruise sailing next week I won’t be the only one of the few adhering to the typical etiquette! Did you find that those that did use the areas in the buff twist limit that to the sauna and steam or was that for the hot tub and cold plunge/showers/loungers as well? How closed off is it from the coed area? Thanks! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1969 Posted January 8 #2006 Share Posted January 8 Currently on the Siver Dawn. Great single sex sauna and steam room facility. I am always nude once inside. Locker room separate. You have to enter a coed area then into the male only area. Very underused. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people walking in and out from the co-ed area so they are going to be wearing suits as they were out there with their spouses or whoever. It's fine to be naked in there though, the door to the coed area is angled as such that no one will ever see in. I used the single person hot tub naked as well but did not see anyone else doing it. The setup is totally awesome, in my experience just the passengers were not.. good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully despite the rudeness of some of the other guests, it still provided a place for a nice conversation or two. I’ve already connected with another guest who will be enjoying the men’s area as I will be. Thank you for the heads up! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birmingham Cruisers Posted January 15 #2012 Share Posted January 15 Hi Greg, glad to hear you enjoyed the steam & sauna setup on Silver Dawn. I am on Silver Muse next month and hoping it will be a similar set up. On the last 2 cruises, saga and princess, there were no single sex facilities. I shall post my findings when on board. Any other sauna users on Silver Muse Melbourne to Auckland ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GigglewolfOfTheSeas Posted January 20 Author #2015 Share Posted January 20 Hello gents, I’m still considering a short cruise on the Celebrity Silhouette later this year, but finding conflicting information on precisely WHEN this ship was last refurbished. I’ve seen mention here as recently as August, 2023, of the sauna located in the men’s locker room still being intact. However, some of the refurbishment articles describing changes to the fitness area I found were dated October - 2023. Calling Celebrity to inquire about such information is…a challenge. Thanks in advance for your insights and I’d also welcome your recommendations on the best sites for information on ship refurbishments.

I’d seen your post, but also on this site I’d seen a formal review dated in October, 2023, indicating the ship had recently come out of dry dock from being refurbished, so I wasn’t certain. I think you’re absolutely correct and all should be fine based on your most recent assessment. Kindly, Gigglewolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
