Bit of a silly question : what does one wear in the spa?

[Mitanoff]

If you're just going to enjoy the saunas and hot chairs, is it just towels or bathing suits?

 

I honestly have no idea!:rolleyes:

Bathing suits --- You will have provided robes in the locker room as well as towels.

Wear whatever you want as long as you don't expose those bits that are supposed to be covered.

For some those bits are more than for others! :D

[don't-use-real-name]

For women a bikini should be adequate.

For men a speedo covers the issue.

Anything else maybe superfluous.

Check with the ship's Spa staff for what they recommend - and Yes they are able to handle the awkward questions with aplomb.

Wear your bathing suits. There are locker rooms if you wish to change from your cruise attire to your bathing suits there. There are plenty of towels and robes in the spa for your use. A lot of folks will wear a robe while lounging on the hot chars. And you need to wear a bathing suit in the saunas, steam rooms, and hydro therapy pools/Jacuzzi. If you are on the Escape, you need some sort of foot wear (flip flops) if you go into the snow room.

Thanks for asking as I will have the spa pass next cruise and never been there before. If you have the cruise long pass, can you take the robe back to your cabin? Would make it easier coming back the next times.

As the others have said, a bathing suit is required in the mixed-sex areas.

You are not supposed to (it said so explicitly on the keycard on the Epic), but if you keep it in your bag they will never know. But then if you put it in your suitcase and take it home at the end of the cruise, they will never know, either. (I mean they will never know that it was you, I am sure they know that many robes go missing every week.) That is no doubt why they don't want you taking them out of the spa, because it would actually save them a lot of laundry if people could reuse the robes over several spa visits.

Why would it be easier? You have to walk directly through the locker room to get into the spa area anyway, so quite easy to grab one as you enter and drop it in the laundry bin on the way out. I doubt most people bring a bag, but I guess you could as long as it will fit in the lockers.

I believe the poster was thinking of wearing his swimsuit and just covering up with a robe when walking to the spa. Instead of changing once getting to the spa. Of course walking around the ship in a bathrobe is a bit tacky!

Out of curiosity are there different size robes? Wondering how they fit for fluffier people

Are all of the steam rooms, saunas, etc. co-ed or are there specific ones reserved for men/women in addition?

That was indeed my idea.

You will be fine.

Epic...Western Med...you will be fine.

 

Most of us on this side of the pond would not do it...but I have when I am only walking through the cabin areas and then up or down a flight of stairs ...I would not do it if I had to walk through the more public areas.

 

This is probably TMI (too much information), but when I am only using the heated tile loungers...and I am wearing a spa robe...and I have towels beneath me and on top of me...to get the warm spa effect...the LAST thing I want to be wearing is a swimsuit...a wet one at that.:p So if you ever see me in the spa you can wonder "what does she have going on under there?"

 

In the co-ed areas one needs to be covered.

 

Some ships have the male and female sections. I can only speak to the female section where I have seen swimsuits, towels, robes, and bare naked ladies.

I've seen all of those in the male section, too. :eek: And yes I meant exactly what I just wrote.

 

Maybe this will help NCL sell a few more spa passes… :D

Yes there are!! BUT you really have to look for them on the women's side. Usually the rebellious fish is a black one on the larger size. The regular size have all blue (I think).

 

If you don't find one ask one of the attendants to get you one from the men's side.

Yes and no. I know on the Gem they have an open area that is unisex. In the (male) locker room their are showers along with a steam room, sauna and (2)? single person tubs. On the BA and Dawn their was a locker / changing room only and the tubs chairs etc....were in the open area. The robes are one size I believe. 99% of my cruise day is spent in a bathing suite so thats what I wear in a out. I have seen few people come in fully dressed to read, personally I think its too hot to do that

Thank you - I really like the "fluffier people" term (as I am one of them).

Depends on the ship. The Epic has the larger "Havens-size" robes in the spa. The escape had the standard smaller robes that are not as fashionable for the fluffy folks.

I wear my bathing suit with a cover up that looks like a long shirt to and fro, and sandals that I don't mind getting wet, same as by the pool. I personally don't walk around the spa areas bare foot and I always sit on a towel, unless I am wearing one of the spa robes.
