  1. With Virgin being adult only I'd rather a nude sundeck..
  2. Update to my post #1988. I have at last caught up with the friend on sailed on The MSC World Europa last month, the ship has a FREE to use male only sauna located in the gym locker room, it is open 0600-2100. He reports that the facility was barley used - he only saw one other chap in there all week, who like my friend used it a break to get some peace & quiet on a ship fully loaded with 7000 passengers!
  3. A friend has this week disembarked MSC World Europa & sent me this pic of the sauna situated in the locker room which is attached to the gym. I have no other info I'm afraid.
  4. A friend was recently on a ship with only extra pay co-ed facilities (Nightmare!) & reports that he had some great conversations in the steam area.
  5. Princess.com Plan a cruise Find cruises & then I get the above image on my screen
  6. I'm not logging in as only looking for a particular voyage. have tried Chrome & Edge browsers on an Asus laptop running Windows 11. I have again this morning tried to search but get the same result - see att image.
  7. I cannot get onto the site to search/book, I get continual error messages which is very frustrating.
  8. Has anyone any idea if MSC Euriba has a free sauna in the gym locker room ?
  9. A friend of mine has recently returned from a cruise on Emerald Princess, he like you booked the ships because it had the free single sex facility & was annoyed to find it had been removed. Speaking/complaining to a member of crew about this he was told that Princess will not be removing the free facility from any other ships because of the large amount of complaints they have received. Time will tell if this is true or not.
  10. I disembarked Celebrity Silhouette today & am pleased to say the FREE single sex sauna is still in place in the mens spa/gym locker room. This locker room is well hidden to the right of & slightly behind the spa reception desk. The facility was well used all week, it is very brightly lit which to me is a little off putting as lighting should be subdued in a sauna. The attendant passed through every 15 minutes or so to ensure all was kept clean & tidy! See my post no. 1135 in this thread for images.
  11. A friend was on Explorer of the Sea this last week & has confirmed that the free male only facility is still in place & was well utilised- he also sent these images.

  13. I like the freedom to be nude in a sauna/steam setting as one should be. Elastic waistbands on shorts block skin pores thus preventing the body from sweating properly, I will wrap a towel loosely around me but usually end up sitting on it. It seems in recent times (with the advent of mobile phone cameras?) people have become more averse to stripping off, you only have to look at the fools dancing around in a locker room when changing into sports gear/swimmers, in the past men would have just dropped their underwear & then put on whatever they needed to. I feel we are going backwards.
  14. I've never been shy with my naked body & struggle to understand whay anyone would be in a single sex setting.
  15. That's yet another cruise ship I'll be avoiding, more & more I'm leaning back towards land based holidays.
  16. I was last on Silhouette in 2021 & it had the male only sauna in the locker room then. I'm booked again in June so will be annoyed if has been taken away as the facility is important to my cruise.
  17. I have been looking at cruises out of Southampton, for this & next summer, the number of ships with single sex sauna/steam facilities is dwindling rapidly, which impacts my choice of cruise line & pushes me back towards land based holidays.
  18. Thank you for the reply (the locker room is apparently very well hidden I'm told via this forum so no surprise you haven't found it) 🙂
  19. I don't know if you are a sauna user, I am but will not pay for thermal suites, I'm told there is a free on in the gym locker room, are you able to confirm that please? (Please don't make a special trip if you don't use the facility). Hope you enjoy the rest of your sailing.
  20. I'm just back from a short cruise on P&O Ventura, I'm pleased to report that the single sex facility is still in place with a fully fired up sauna, sadly the steam room was out of action (& had been for some months apparently). Towels were plentiful, however the soap dispensers were near on empty on day 1 & were not refilled at during the sailing. (This reflected the generally tired appearance of the ship overall in my opinion). M & F attendants now float in & out to tidy up & call out "Housekeeping" to announce their arrival. The facility wasn't as busy as it had been on previous sailings however I did meet some nice guys & enjoy time with them.
