Yes. Photos were posted earlier in the thread or on the Live-ish thread. There are saunas, but no windows.

Thanks Anita (and pd7277).

Pleased it's still there - am guessing it's between 1/2 and 1/3 the size it previously was though.

Weren't those two round windows the ones people were hoping would be retained from the Women's Changing Room?  Appears they did not survive in any form of a window.

Was anyone able to ascertain if the saunas in the men's and women's changing rooms had survived the refit - albeit without the port hole windows?

Morning, all 13 cabins are indeed in this corridor. The other side of the door at the far end is the old door into the solarium. The spa is now portside. As mentioned before the only issue I’ve noticed with any noise is from Cosmos. In general during the day it’s very quiet. 

If it's not too much trouble, would you mind popping your head into the men's (or women's) changing room to see if there is still a single-sex sauna in there?

And apologies in advance for asking and disturbing your hols.

Many thanks

Does anyone know if there is any smoking allowed at the Oceanview Bar?  The AQ aft cabins look great, but I'd hate to be sitting on my balcony and have smoke wafting up ?  Thanks

Many thanks to everyone who answered my question - and delighted that there's no smoking any longer at the Oceanview bar!

Absolutely agree! We sail in the aft most of the time so need no convincing. We prefer to sail in 1138 or 1141 on M Class (in one of 5 Deck 11 aft AQ's) and corner aft S1's on S Class. We wanted the southern route for Alaska and none of the 5 aft AQ were available, though they were for the northern route. I went back and forth and finally went with a C1 aft for the southern route. If the reviews for the aft AQ look good despite losing the canopy below, I might head north instead and go with one of those (hate to miss out on Blu and the new spa). 🙂

 

This is from 1141 on the Summit (notice the canopy below):

We really need someone that's currently on the ship to give us the lowdown on the new spa and fitness center. They've completely reworked that area so it should be totally different that before. 

That would be ideal.  Seems the gym is much smaller - the two wings have gone (one had all the free weights if I remember correctly) and the remaining area has had 4 or 5 treatment rooms put into it.   So ,what's left is certainly a lot smaller.

Confirmation of the existence of the sauna still being in the men's (and women's) changing room (albeit much smaller, presumably) would also be good.

I understood that Le Petit Chef would just feature on a couple of nights on each each cruise in Qsine, and not be available every night.  When we were on Reflection last Feb, they were doing a trial retro-fit with the projectors in the ceiling, but hadn’t completed it for our cruise.

I was on Reflection last month and, sad to say, LPC was a nightly event in Qsine

Hello.

I was looking at the gym area - which seems to be smaller after the Revolution. Am also going to miss the big saunas with the port hole window in the men's changing room (presume the women's was identical).

Celebrity HO has told me the new, smaller changing rooms still each have a sauna in them - anyone able to confirm as it seems a tight fit, given the vastly reduced size.

Thanks
