  I love a social spa scene, in general. Like, don't just sit around shifty eyed and cruising. Talk... have a conversation... I've met some super interesting people that way. As we all know as nudists... people tend to be pretty humble when they are naked. And it's fun when there are a handful of guys in the steam or sauna and it's a group conversation.

  Vegas is similar to the cruise ships.. you'll meet people from all over the world. Caesar's Palace has an incredible spa area that was very social the time I went.

  I tend to find the same thing and especially with European men, they are more incline to be nude in saunas. You can have some interesting conversations and even have social time later on the cruise with them.
  I agree with Taller regarding Vegas. The Q-Spa at CP was one that you could spend a whole day there and again see a good deal of men from around the world though most are from USA. One thing that I did have to keep in mind was the good old saying , "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". 'Activity' this happen a few times, and it was usually the same individuals.

  I agree about meeting some great guys and having good conversations. On recent cruise (Jewel of the Seas) I met guys from all over the US and Canada, nearly all were naked. It's becoming harder and harder to find ships that still have separate facilities. Royal Caribbean is going back to ships that had great single sex saunas/steam rooms and removing them. The newer ships are all coed and require swimsuits.

The saunas were absurdly small next to the gigantic steam rooms. But they got hardly any use at all. On the 15 day cruise I may have seen one other person in a steam room maybe 3 times, except the last day of the cruise when I saw 5 others in one of the rooms. I guarantee the spas would have seen full use if they were separated by gender.

  I am on the Silver dawn from 5th January out of Fort Lauderdale. I think there is a single sex sauna in the male changing rooms if there is I will certainly be nude. The Viking Ocean ships have a great separate sex sauna and plunge pool facility.

  Unfortunately the newer ships dont have the single sex saunas. Thats why I stick with the older ones. Ive recently been on the Koningsdam and the Queen Victoria and the both had single sex saunas. Most everyone went in naked.

  Thats good to know. I am going on Queen Victoria next year and was hoping that the sauna was still single-sex, just like Queen Elizabeth. Its quite true that single sex saunas are much friendlier places - I have had great chats with guys in there. When youre nude it just makes people more open to one another. On Queen Elizabeth quite a few of the stage performers use the sauna during the day - although the dancers are usually very toned so I slink away when they appear for fear of comparison.

  I was on the Queen Victoria last year out of Southampton for 12 days. At first the sauna was not crowded, but by the end of the cruise it was standing room only. Some guys would come in wearing bathing trunks and see us naked guys there. They would leave and come back a minute later naked as well. I know what you mean about the entertainers in there. They are all well built and not afraid to show it. I just sit my pudgy butt down anyway!
