Dream Spa Passes

[CruisingSoon88]

Can someone please tell me when and where you usually go to buy Spa passes on the Dream? DH and I want to buy the weekly pass and since everyone says that they go fast, I sure don't want to miss out! I imagine that you buy them at the spa, but can you please tell me what time we need to be there? Thanks!

Yes, you have to purchase them in the spa.

 

On embarkation day, you'll probably run into many employees wearing at tag that says "ask me" -- they are there to help. Ask them where to get your spa pass, and they will probably even escort you up to the spa and put you right in front of the person you need to see.

 

We bought ours shortly after having lunch - I think it's a good idea to purchase on embarkation day, timing will pretty much have to be up to you, I am not sure how popular the passes are on each cruise. I think when we are on the Dream in September, I'll probably go up for my spa pass BEFORE I eat my lunch!

 

Have fun!

The dream has a thermal spa - it is complimentary to those who book spa cabins, but is an additional cost (per individual or per couple).

Yes, I see a trip up there before lunch as well!:D After working hard to talk DH into getting passes, I would hate to have them gone before we even get there. After all, I KNOW they won't run out of food. Thanks for the info! I'm sure we'll have a great time as always!

As others have posted , the first day they are doing tours and you can purchase the passes.

They will also have some specials like “if you buy now , you get a milk bath….something like that”.

I believe it was like 249.00 for the week.

After many cruises with CCl I must say that has been my only bad experience, and I don’t blame Carnival as much as myself.

My concern was how crowded it would get, and I was told that they only sell a “limited number of passes”.. act fast cause they go quickly..

Well the spa pool was very very crowded, and I witnessed several times people who did not pay were let in my others… I did notify the proper folks , there was a feeble attempt to police a little better but that tailed off by mid week.

I don’t know if it’s the same way as this was 7 mos ago… nice facility but way crowded for me

Anybody done the spa lately and can attest to this still going on? DH and I are thinking of buying the passes but are still unsure....

We bought spa passes on the Dream and never had a problem with the spa area being crowded. We used it every day.

I can't believe they now charge for this and sheople go along and think that its OK.

What does your cruise fare pay for?

[spenc]

Wow. That's a little harsh. You are paying for an area that is more relaxing and quiet, and has services that there is a charge for. I don't understand the name-calling.

If you want them for the whole week (which I definitely suggest! we had a spa stateroom and it was amazing) I would head over to the spa right after boarding/lunch to buy them. We got on the ship about 12:15 or so, ate, and then went over to the spa around 1 for the tour and to pick up our wristbands and they were open (obviously) and selling the passes at that time.

 

I saw a couple other posters asking about how crowded it was...we never thought it was overly so. We had bad weather on one of our sea days (chilly and REALLY windy) and I was shocked that there was practically no one in the spa.

You pay$150 for a relaxing atmostphere.

I guess the $3000 fare just gets noise.

Baaaaaaah...

You are not looking at the entire picture. The "free" spa area is not the same thing as the Cloud 9. These are areas that are more private and you pay for that. These types of areas were NEVER included in the typical spa areas. yes, there were hot tubs, but not the thallosotherapy spas. I have been in both and there is absolutely no comparison. The heated loungers are incredible. I had a car accident the week we left on the Dream and those, along with the spa, are the main reason I was able to enjoy my cruise. So YES, they are worth the extra money. If you don't want to use them that's fine, but the impression you are giving, that these are something that Carnival is now charging for that was previously free, is not accurate.

What I don't get is how you can even compare what is on a ship you have not even sailed on:confused:

Good point. I suspect this person is confused with what facilities are available to all ship guests and what is available to those who either book the spa cabins or chose to pay the extra premiums.

 

All guests of the ship are still welcomed to use the gym and the connecting locker rooms. There also is a sauna for both female and male guests.

 

BTW, I have never encountered a crowded T-pool. I admit it would be frustrating if there were people in there without the paid passed or if the spa over sold the passes.
