Hi nice to be back! Unfortunately had a huge data breach and, a new email, so shoot me an email and we can reconnect. This applies also to any guy that wants to say hello.

Thanks, man.  I wanted to say hello.  Tried your email, but it didn't go through.  Maybe I got it wrong.  Would like to ask you more about some of the ships you were on and maybe other vacation destinations that are good sauna/steam experiences.

Just back from a 12 night sailing on the Caribbean Princess.
I'm please to say the the free single sex facilities are still in place & consist of a 7/8 man sauna & a similar sized steam room. There are three showers with semi frosted glass doors & a drinking water fountain. Towels are plentiful as are free combination lockers.  The attendant was a polite friendly guy who was always about keeping the area clean.   Outside the M & F locker rooms are two freestanding signs which state ' For Spa Users Only' (or similar wording).   I queried this & was told that the signs are misleading & that the sauna/steam facilities are indeed for everyone to use.    The facility wasn't exceptionally busy & always had the same 5/6 people in when I visited - I expect the signage may have had something to do with that!  I had a few nice conversations but nothing more as the people weren't to my personal choice to spend time with.

Cruising on Carnival Firenze in a couple of months. Does anyone know if there is a men’s sauna?

Hi jer-I.  The Firenze is the sister ship to the Venezia so they should be the same in the men's area and are free to use.  I was on Venezia out of New York City on 10-28-23 and really enjoyed the facilities.  It is hard to get a good idea of the deck plans on those two ships though because they are not like the other Carnival ships in the fleet with interactive deck plans.  Theirs are just in pdf form.  However, if you go to cruisedeckplans.com/DP/deckplans/index.php you can see a better representation and they both look the same to me.  Also, if you go to the other board, "Fitness, Spa & Sports Cruises" under Special Interest Cruising and then go to page 75, posting 1862 on 8-25-23 that was posted by Mojitos24 they posted some really great pictures of the men's area.  Hope that helps and enjoy your cruise!

I am on the Euribia next week. Will give update 🙂 

Hi _Aquarius_.  I saw your posting that you were going to be on the MSC Seashore in October, 2023.  Is that ship in the same class as the MSC Seascape?  I live in Texas and have cruised on 57 Carnival cruises but MSC is building a new terminal with parking garage in Galveston and will be porting the Seascape there.  It is open for bookings already starting November, 2025.  Since we can't go any higher in the Carnival loyalty program, and MSC has a matching program we are thinking we might try the Seascape.  I have looked on the deck plan for Seascape and found the gym located on Deck 8 but it doesn't have any indications where the sauna is.  On the link for saunas/steamrooms on this site it shows there is a free men's sauna but no steamroom.  Can you tell me a little more about the layout if it is the same as the ship you were on?  Thanks, Larry.

Hey!

Has anyone been on the Celebrity Eclipse recently? How is the free sauna in the men's changing room? Sailing on June 30th.

Hi 🙂 I was on Eclipse for the May 26th sailing. The sauna in the changing room worked great every time I used it, feeling nice and hot but not overly so. The space isn't huge but it is a decent size, and close to a square in shape. It has an upper and lower bench which wrap around to the right as you walk in. We had up to four guys in there comfortably. Any more might be a bit tight. Three showers are just outside the sauna. The lockers are set up with self-setting combination locks that can be challenging to figure out, even with the posted instructions. Have fun!

Thanks so much! I am really looking forward to a nice week...., especially after my last cruise on the Caribbean-bound MSC Meraviglia the 3rd week of December...the one that went to Canada instead because of bad weather in the Caribbean! The ship and crew and sauna were great...but 28* outside instead of 83* just wasn't quite the same!

I hope you enjoy the ship and you have sunny skies to your "scheduled" destination this time!eclipse1.thumb.jpg.abd2e261d6f75760f3cad14322aa01b3.jpg
