Persian gardens

[stellarose]

we are not aqua class but want to use the steam/salt/ saunas- is that possible?  on CCL you can get daily passes. last sailed in 2010 on summit.

Daily or weekly passes are usually available for purchase in the cruise planner.

Depends upon the ship you're on this time, but M class saunas, showers and changing areas are 'outside' of the Persian Gardens area and available to all.

FYI the Summit has a free sauna, albeit small, in the locker rooms that are  accessable to all passengers.

yeah just love salt rooms/saunas and steam rooms. was hoping not to pay extra for those.

so it is an upcharge to use the Persian gardens. gonna call celebrity to get it for hubby and I. It is my 50th birthday cruise.

My recollection of the Persian garden on Constellation was that tut was nothing like the Persian Garden on the S-class ships. There were no individual hot tile beds, only a continuous bench in a windowless space. We looked at it and never used it during our cruise in 2019. 
 

I don’t know if the Persian Garden has been revamped during the updating of the M-class ships. Perhaps someone can provide details here.

You can also pay for access through the whole cruise.

Connie is not revolutionized yet so you are correct she has the "dark" M class sauna.  We were on Summit in April.  Locker room is cut in half but still a free sauna.  Sex segregated.  Want steam?  All but AQ pay.    Suites or E + may get one free port day.

I was skeptical when they announced they were using one of the existing M-Class spa/gym locker rooms and create two separate locker rooms but after boarding the Summit I was pleasantly surprised how they got everything in it.  Yes the sauna is now 1/3 the size of the original one but it's still functional.

we are not elite or spa or retreat cabin.  I love the steam and sauna .  not liking heated couches, like single chairs.  so should I pay for Persian gardens.

You can search here on Cruise Critic for photos of the Persian Garden and see if the facilities are something you would enjoy. As you will see in the photos there isn't individual heated tile loungers, only communal benches as previously stated.
