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? They have a sauna and steam room in the men’s locker room. Luckily she didn’t follow the same fate that her sister ship freedom did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Cruiser Dude Posted July 4 #2204 Share Posted July 4 I did not realize they removed the sauna and steam room from the freedom. Glad I went with the Independence. Do you know if the temperatures are reasonable. I was just on the Caribbean Princess. The steam room there melts your skin off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they fixed it last time I was on it the temperature was low. Indy’s temperature is mild early on in the day it’s hotter than later on.

My local gym has a sauna that i use regularly but not a steam room. So, I tend to try to use the steam more because it feels more of a treat.

I could be mistaken. Not sure about Adventure, but Navigator did go through a refresh a few years ago and they moved to the steam room to the spa and it can only fit around 3-5 people now. Sauna has gone away. I'll post some photos later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be mistaken. That used to be the case but Nav was Amped and mega changes were made. They removed the gym from the front of the ship and put a smaller version in the back. The wonderful amenities of the former set up are gone. Edited July 7 by willcan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneupchuck Posted July 7 #2221 Share Posted July 7 Here are some photos I took of the steam room setup on the Navigator OTS. It's in the spa area. You get a key to a locker from the receptionist. The change room has two toilets, two showers, and the steam room. As you can see the steam room is pretty small. Temperature wasn't too hot. It was quiet on a sea day afternoon. With a day pass you also get access to the relaxation room, where tea and water are provided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been difficult to find out much about it since they destroyed the original nice and complimentary steam/sauna facilities on Navigator. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
