May1cruiser Posted December 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2022 We are trying our first Spa room on Celebration in a few weeks. Curious about crowds and benefits of this? I understand steam and sauna rooms are part of package. How crowded? Are they co-ed or separate rooms? What other perks are included? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfshair Posted December 28, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2022 My understanding of the spa rooms is this ... Priority spa reservations, free fitness classes, unlimited access to the thermal suites, discounts on treatments during port days, a unique welcome ritual, complimentary scrub kits, complimentary body composition analysis, spa bathrobes and slippers, and upgraded elemis toiletries. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious about crowds and benefits of this? I understand steam and sauna rooms are part of package. How crowded? Are they co-ed or separate rooms? What other perks are included? thanks The heated rooms are totally co-ed on the Celebration. There are NO single sex saunas in the locker rooms. There is a regular sauna (as opposed to the infrared salt room sauna in the thermal suite) that's accessible to everyone, even those without a thermal suite pass, in the back hallway of the spa locker rooms. You exit the locker rooms using the rear door and for women it will be right in from of you (Glass frosted door) and for men just make a left and down the hall. This sauna is your traditional Finnish Sauna with a main heating element. The Salt room Infrared sauna uses a different technology. Lots of people don't like it because the sauna room itself isn't that hot, but then you're using the sauna wrong. It's the same technology as infrared space heaters for your home. You have to be RIGHT in from of the heating element to feel the warmth. So in the sauna there are multiple infrared heating elements that you're supposed to sit right in front of so the heat radiates on your back and then it warms your whole body. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nascartim Posted December 29, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 29, 2022 We had spa interior on the Magic in early November. It did seem a little busy the first couple of days, but I think the novelty of it wears off, as it gets less crowded towards the second half of the trip. We also have a spa interior on the Mardi Gras in January to try out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinqt Posted December 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 29, 2022 The thermal suites are co-ed and way better than the free one by the lockers which is cheap, tiny and often not working. Whether the thermal suites are crowded or not depends on what time of day you go. Early mornings before 11 am and evenings after dinner time are best. Midday is the worst. They only sell a limited amount of passes so when I say crowded I mean there are several individuals in the hot bubbly therapy pool or there’s only a couple loungers open. Usually it’s not that bad. It’s adults only so you won’t see kids running around there either. I usually hit the dry saunas, then the steam rooms, then cool off under the waterfall shower before soaking in the hot bubbly therapy pool. Then I relax in a heated marble lounger and have a good nap. It’s my favorite part of the day when cruising. You’ll love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May1cruiser Posted December 29, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted December 29, 2022 thank you all for these great tips. Looking forward to trying this out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djd1966 Posted January 13, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I'll be trying this out also. Do like to relax in sauna/steam(on ships that shill have ).. I assume the "free" sauna described is co-ed so guess I'll deal with having to wear more than a towel LOL. Should feel good after my massage though.

tree.critter Posted January 15, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I love the Cloud 9 spa but was horribly disappointed in the spa on the Mardi Gras. I am wondering if the Celebration and rest of excel class will be in the same dungeon like atmosphere with no windows to see the ocean. The Thalasso pool is the smallest one yet and more than 3 people in at a time and you’re getting quite friendly. The sauna and steam rooms are great but it’s back to the Dream class for me if I want a spa cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted January 15, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Agree @tree.critter DW loves the spa (mainly the steam room) but MG wasn't great, IMO.. I think the Breeze and Dream have the best. DW didn't care for the Breeze but think she just had poor guest service. Huge Men's locker room, lots of thermal loungers and loved the relaxation area where you could see the front of the ship. MG and the Vista class spas all have tiny hot tub pools and few loungers.
