The Hot Tub Is Not Private


You may have envisioned a quiet soak with an ocean breeze and a sunset backdrop, but hot tubs on cruise ships are anything but private. These steamy spots are prime real estate, drawing passengers like moths to a flame. Instead of peace and quiet, expect company—lots of it.

While the conversation might be lively and the views undeniably beautiful, the experience can feel more like a social mixer than a spa retreat. If you’re not into sharing close quarters with strangers, it might be best to skip it altogether.
