AdvGirl Posted November 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I read on some post that there was no place to clean up or change in the Anthem Gym and that there is only one small restroom is this true. If yes is the only option to head back to your stateroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CntPAcruiser Posted November 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I'm curious about this myself now, after having been on Oasis and Allure, where there is only a tiny locker area in the fitness center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nbsjcruiser Posted November 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I'm curious about this myself now, after having been on Oasis and Allure, where there is only a tiny locker area in the fitness center. Believe it or not, this is one of the reasons I've stayed away from Oasis class ships. Every other class ship (Indy, Explorer and down) has a nice locker room, and enjoyable sauna and steam room and showers. I'll typically use the sauna and steam followed by a hot shower after a beach day when DW is using the shower back in our room. Making me pay to use the sauna rubs me the wrong way. The price of the cruise on those ships is high enough without the extra cost of using the sauna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted November 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2015 My spouse used the gym on Anthem. I just asked her if there's a changing room; she thinks there is (but can't say totally for sure as she always came back to our cabin to shower and change).

Big_G Posted November 27, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I've never ever given the locker rooms a thought. I always change up and shower in my cabin. Maybe if I had any desire to use a steam room or sauna, I might feel differently. They're one of the few things in life that grosses me out.

MADflyer Posted November 27, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 27, 2015 RCI and Steiner Leisure that run the spas on RCI ships have actually downgraded their services on Quantum Class. They were already basic on Oasis class. This includes the paid Thermal Suite, where they only have one shower in the actual thermal area. The gym and Thermal suite do have access to the same small locker room with one for men and one for women. The men's locker room has one small shower which was a major downgrade from the 7 showers on Oasis and 6 on Freedom and Voyager class. The new NCL and MSC ships have fantastic complementary locker rooms and paid thermal areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six or seven showers on the Oasis class ships, sauna also, guess you missed it?????:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne123 Posted November 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I don't know about the men's area, but the women's is enormous. Always went back to my cabin to shower. I am a little bit of a germ a phobe and do not care for public showers. (that's just me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare conandrob240 Posted November 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 27, 2015 No showers at gym on Anthem. And even with a stated policy of 16 and over to use the gym, they were checking IDs and turning away under 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CntPAcruiser Posted November 27, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Six or seven showers on the Oasis class ships, sauna also, guess you missed it?????:rolleyes: Nope. Oasis and Allure have a PAID thermal suite with two specialty showers and men's/women's locker rooms with a several showers in the spa area. The "six or seven" was referring to that, not the fitness center itself. On earlier ships, which we also prefer, the fitness center has a full-sized locker room with steam room and sauna and several showers for the use of any passenger, no extra cost.

I feel like the locker/shower rooms on Getaway were behind the checkpoint where I had to show my spa pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
