natefish95 Posted June 26 #1353 Share Posted June 26 Was on the Carnival Valor last week and the sauna and steam room is still free, open, and in the men's locker room. It wasn't used very often and most people wore shorts. It was working most properly most of the time, but the sauna would get extremely hot. The ladies working in the spa would often walk through the men's locker room without notice, which was super annoying. The same thing happened on Freedom last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise38 Posted July 11 #1354 Share Posted July 11 Was recently on Caribbean princess. Sauna and steam in the mens changing area and free of charge. Decent size steam room with seats for 14 and the sauna is a bit smaller with room for 3 or 4 comfortably but 6 could maybe squeeze in. Did notice most guys using just a loose towel or completely nude, was surprised since it was a cruise out of the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganBound Posted August 2 #1361 Share Posted August 2 Anyone with firsthand experience in the NCL Epic men's Thermal Suite? I have read the database document and it appears it does have single-sex sauna and steam. In practice, how good is the set-up? Good for relaxation? I love the Thermal Suites on the Jewell class NCL ships. Excellent layout. Now looking to expand my horizons onto other NCL vessels that offer non-coed options. Any input from personal experience on the Epic would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the mens only area there really isn’t any lounge chairs just a steamroom, small sauna, and about four showers. Let me know if you have any other questions. Here’s a short YouTube video I found with the layout: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happytraveller Posted Wednesday at 01:10 PM #1372 Share Posted Wednesday at 01:10 PM Has anyone sailed on the Carnival Glory and Royal Princess? do either have free steamroom and sauna and if so are they single sex or coed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willcan Posted Wednesday at 02:11 PM #1373 Share Posted Wednesday at 02:11 PM There are so many ships listed in this thread. And with so many ships leaving the industry, refurbs, and new ships, it's hard to keep up. Just curious if we can compose a short list of fan favorites. Free or paid, single sex men's areas on currently sailing ships (2022). Favorites should have a great combination of amenities, layout and location. And should have a good balance of traffic. Not so busy that you can't have a conversation but not so quiet that you are alone much of the time. My hope is we can come up with the a few favorites. Top picks, that we can all explore someday. Happy sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy sailing. Emerald Princess has great free sauna and steam and in my experience has a good amount of traffic. HAL Koningsdam, Niew Statendam and Rotterdam as well as Cunard Queen Elizaberh and Victoria have a great free sauna in mens locker room with large qindow onto the ocean. Have found these ships all have a good social crowd especially mid to late afternoon. All Jewel class ships on NCL have a great mens only fee paying spa area which I feel is well worth the money, they also have a free steam room in mens gym locker room.

twodjs Posted Wednesday at 04:30 PM #1375 Share Posted Wednesday at 04:30 PM The HAL and NCL Jewel class ships have my vote, too. Haven't been on the others - adding them to my list. I've found the home port plays a part in the mix of passengers and the experience - San Diego is my favorite. Easy access from the west coast, a more easy-going vibe and itineraries that are not so port intensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
