Azura Retreat Access ?

[SheShe90]

Hi, we've booked a cabin on the Azura for march 2012, but I've heard that there are problems booking the Retreat if you haven't upgraded to the "Spa Package"?

 

I'm worried that I won't be able to use the Retreat on a pay-as-you-go basis, without paying £299 each for the upgrade - can anyone advise please?

 

:confused:

I'm sure you'll be able to get access sometime, but perhaps not on your chosen day.

 

Just go and book as soon as possible after boarding. Enjoy it - we liked the Retreat a lot.

Sea days obviously book up faster than port days, but ofcourse most of the ship want sea days in the retreat....all you can do is go along as soon as you can and book what is left.

Thank you for your advise. I have decided to book a spa package to avoid disapointment.

£299! That's 8 bottles of champagne! I think that given the choice I would be by the pool or on my balcony, champagne glass in hand.

We booked the Spa Pass and thought it was fantastic value - enjoy!

How do you buy the Spa Package? Can you do this in advance? Thanks.

Contact P&O and ask about it. The pass allows 4 entries to the Retreat, unlimited access to the Retreat pool, a facial, a full body massage, various perks in cabin and lots of products to take home, as well as some other things I can't recall right now.

 

P&O will give you all the details.

Be aware that not all of the beds in the retreat are in the sun. We have known two couples who were very disappointed to find that queuing had started before the retreat opened to "reserve sunbeds out of the shady areas"

If you book the Spa package, you can pre-select and pre-reserve your sun bed when you embark - not sure if this also extends to the day passes.

Damned if I would pay £299 to sit in there! When we were on board, there was hardly anyone in there. What a rip off.

Is there general access to the sunbathing area near The Retreat? :)

Yes, there is a fence round the private area. :eek:
