Thank you MommyBear, and Thank You Hope4meToo! I appreciate you for standing up for me. :D:D:D At least cruise critic still has those genuine people!;)

It varies by ship. I believe the sauna is no charge on the Inspiration. Also there are nice large showers available for no extra fee. No free services on any ship that I know of. I think technically the sauna is considered a no extra fee facility; there won't be a staff member to provide more than the key to a locker. Just checkin at the front desk and they trade your sail and sign card for a locker key.

Dry Sauna=free,,,steam room=free,,,pool/hot tub=free,,,all the towels=free,,,gym use=free,,,roomy showers=free. Most folks are in the buffet lines so you will have a non crowded area to enjoy!

I don't believe the steam rooms are free. I think you can only use them if you get a spa treatment or if you are staying in a spa room. The spa sells a limited number of packages which allows you access to the steam rooms/thalassotherapy pool/sauna/showers etc. without having to be in a spa category room. I've read that without the pass you can at least use the showers which are spacious and have massaging showerheads.

the showers/the co-ed sauna on the dream will be free to all guest- the other areas will be for people with spa cabins or pay for the passes.

 

Does this ship not have a gym?

Hi there. The sauna, gym, hot tub, showers are free (steam room generally isn't), but if you are looking for a free treatment that won't happen UNLESS you get up to the spa deck on embarkation day as soon as you get on board, and ask if they need a model - sometimes they will do a demo of a hot stone massage or even the ionithermie.

If this doesn't happen, I have some tips that I compiled while working on board in my article http://cruisingchronicles.weebly.com/3/post/2011/06/free-spa-pampering.html - just simple stuff to make you feel like you went to the spa, but really didn't have to pay - however, I will tell you, the spa packages come up with some awesome prices, like $80 for a foot/ankle massage, shoulder/neck massage, hair treatment ... so be sure to ask about the package deals they have!

Carnival virtually always uses crew members for "volunteers" these days. No more free lunch.

Most ships I have been in have the steam room on the outer area of the locker room,,,you can set in it and enjoy the ocean view as you steam. I have never been charged and most of the time I am alone. One time a guy came in,,stayed about 5 minutes and left. They are free unless they have changed since my last cruise.

I have never had to pay for a steam shower on any of my cruises. As far as I know they are free as well as the sauna, showers, pool, or hot tub (depending on which ship) and lockers. For a locker you just go into the spa enterance hand them your card and they will give you a key. There are also towels in the locker room. Enjoyd!!!:D
