funcky Posted September 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Our last NCL cruise was on 15,000 tons Southward which is at least 18 years ago. Since then we been on Princess, CCL, & RCI. This December we are considering the Star heading for Mexico Riviera. My family are mostly females, therefore I tend to use the locker room to shower and relax in sauna after workout and free shower for wife and daughters. It seems all the new ships now make you pay for these amenities. Been searching on board but no definite specific answer for the Star. Please share if you have any info.

medicalma'am Posted September 24, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Yes, you must buy the Spa Pass for the week to have access to the 'wet area' in the spa. The cost is (depending on the ship and season) $199, $149, or $119. The spa is a nice area to spend time in with a common large Thalasso Therapy pool, heated loungers, hot tubs, and separate male and female areas too, all with the view of the Aft wake. I have found it well worth the price. I think the ladies especially in your family would enjoy it. You must go directly to the spa on embarkation and purchase the package, as only a limited number of passes are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funcky Posted September 24, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Thanks for info. I was only refer to facilities in locker room. Even if it is just to use the shower after workout on treadmills, do we have to pay extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckirj1 Posted September 24, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'd also be interested to know if the gym showers are free. I could care less about the spa stuff, but knowing about gym showers would be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funcky Posted September 24, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Any taker? We are weighing pros and cons of NCL Star vs. Crown Princess vs. Carnival Miracle for Christmas 2014. We know Princess and CCL both have free shower in gym locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old & Retired Posted September 24, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 24, 2014 There are no gym showers. To use the spa showers in the spa locker room you must pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckirj1 Posted September 24, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Thanks for the definitive answer. No gym locker room or showers on the Star. That's disappointing, but not at all a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
