I think there is a mixed steam room in the paid section of the spa From what Rodbarry said in an earlier post, it seems QA has a mixed steam room but it’s mostly guys and towels aren’t mandatory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, the single sex saunas on QE and QV have similar signs. I interpret appropriate there as naked. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonygcharles Posted June 30 #2191 Share Posted June 30 Yes , they don't get revenue from the free area's I guess . I was on P&O Arvia recently She's the same as Iona.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose my options will become more limited! mr.genious98 at gmail 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it wasn't free, if they could still have separate areas then they wouldn't have to have the stupid clothing rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the thermal pass. Shared area in the center and incredible single sex areas. Edited July 3 by bejwee 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shared area in the center and incredible single sex areas. The NCL Pearl is the same set up but someone said they removed a larger single sex hot tub and in its place put a weird single man hot tub that just overflows when one person gets in. Nice large single sex saunas over the bridge wings and a small steam room and cold plunge pool as well. The open showers barely functioned during our trip on the Pearl back in January ‘24. Also eventhough there were separate areas for men and women, 90% wore swim trunks in the single sex areas during our voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Cruiser Dude Posted July 3 #2199 Share Posted July 3 I’m heading on the independence of the seas at the end of August. I checked the spreadsheet before I booked and saw that it has single-gender/sex sauna and steam room. Has anyone been on the ship recently?

And most wore trunks - However a few didn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
