Sauna On QM2 Coed Or Separate?

[rienreiter]

Am curious to find out if sauna/steamroom on QM2 are separate for men and women or if they are coed. Can someone who has previously sailed on QM2 advise?

 

Also, I think I remember reading that there is a usage fee for the sauna whereas most other ships do not charge for the use of the sauna. Is this true? If so, what is that fee?

 

Thanks to all,

I've never been, but I do know it's part of Canyon Ranch, and that you pay extra for the spa. (Whirlpools, by the pools, are complimentary, except the one in Canyon Ranch.)

The sauna/steam rooms are coed, part of the ante-room of the aqua spa area. You can use them ( and the rest of the aqua spa facilities)if you buy a spa pass or if you have booked a massage on that day.

All the facilities, except the locker rooms, are co-ed in the spa

Unlike most of europe............. you also are required to wear swimming costumes in the sauna!!!!

 

This was ignored by many of the Euro. patrons during our last crossing.:eek:

 

After spending time in Austria and Switzerland we were used to it & must say we didn't really care ........ to each their own!!!

Some of which, frankly, are more alarming than seeing people au naturel......

If the sauna, etc are coed, I wonder if that would be a bit uncomfortable for women traveling on thier own.

 

I admit, I think it would be nice to have some kind of private saunas for individuals, something like that. Otherwise, I would not want to go to the sauna, unless accompanied by friends.

Although I wasn't traveling alone, I went into the spa alone almost every day. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all about it (and I am sensitive to such things) Actually I felt MORE uncomfortable in the jacuzzi's through the rest of the ship (a little more self-concious and there was more of a "party" atmosphere.....not too bad, but a little more than suits my taste). I think it was the atmosphere of the spa. Just about everyone was there to relax.

I've had a look at the Canyon Ranch brochure, but do you have to pay to use the gym - I see you have to pay for exercise classes, which I think is the norm, but I'm not clear about the gym - does anyone know.

On page 9 of the menu of services, it says, "Use of Fitness Centre/Gymnasium is complimentary, and does not include use of locker rooms."

 

So I'd say it's free.
