Dream ?

[HighSeaslover]

We are sailing on the Dream 1/15 and I was viewing the ship. My question is that they have a special hot tub in the spa. Do you have to pay to use the hot tub?

[LittleMissMagic]

Yes. You have to be a spa member to use it. Someone told me that it is $250/person. We were on a 9-day cruise, so I'm not sure if that's more expensive than on the 7-day itenerary. I heard that you can also get a spa room and the hot tub use is included.

 

It looked really nice.

[HighSeaslover]

what else to you get for the $250 fee to be a member?

[LittleMissMagic]

I wasn't sure because we didn't look into it, so I did some research, and it turns out that you can also purchase day passes.

Thank you for the description. I am going with a friend, platonically, he is handicapped, and he booked a room that includes the Spa 9 services. I am so looking forward to that.

I just got home from the Dream today and purchased the spa package. It was a highlight of my trip. I was there as a solo and the price was $149 for the 7 days; $249 for a couple. I used the spa everyday. In fact, all my money went to the spa. Believe it or not, I may have lost weight (will see when I get on the scale tomorrow morning).

 

Go see Ben's fitness seminars - he gives a lot of interesting information. Nicholas, the acupunturist/herbalist helped me through a pinched sciatic nerve and with an oncoming cold. The spa staff are great.

 

Enjoy the Dream! I miss her already.

It sounds like my first stop on board will be to buy a spa pass. I feel more relaxed just thinking about it.

Are you sharing the spa cabin with your friend? Only the first 2 guests booked in the spa cabins have the unlimited access to all the spa facilities.

That was where I started my cruise and my first purchase.

Is the spa open right away when you get onboard or did it open later? I might even go there before I go to the lido deck for lunch.

They begin spa tours at 1pm and you can purchase the pass at that time. You cannot use the facilities till after you set sail. I went on the first day about 5pm and it was wonderful.
