Costa Pacifica Spa...do they charge

[steveo, Glasgow]

I was told by some people that Costa charge you to use the steam room and spa area...never had this with other cruises I have been on...is this right and if so how much do they charge if you dont have any treatments but just want to chill out?

Thanks

The problem with free Saunas and steam rooms is that all Spas are a franchise operation run mainly by Steiner.It has always been a difficult issue with Cruise Lines who insist that these facilities should be free.In fact Spas on some ships refuse to give a clothes locker for non paying guests,leading to altercation usually at Guest Relations.
