cpiers Posted January 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Does anyone know the current price of a spa pass on the Gem for the 9 day cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shanefm3 Posted January 5, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 5, 2014 $139 on Nov 25th 9 day. It's very nice. I bought it while at the terminal prior to boarding . Great value on the cold sea days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpiers Posted January 5, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Does it ever seem crowded? Or any problems finding a heated tiled lounger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shanefm3 Posted January 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2014 My experience from past cruises is the last couple of days at sea are busiest . Obviously it depends how many passes they sell( it's capped) . I've never found it overcrowded to where it wasn't relaxing but I'm an early bird . The ceramic loungers can be hogged at times but it didn't bother me too much , I think 5-10 mins is enough on them and enjoy the loungers just as much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolane1 Posted January 5, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Does anyone know the current price of a spa pass on the Gem for the 9 day cruise? I just got off the Gem and it was $189 for the nine days. In my opinion, it was totally worth it - just beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I wonder why the increase!! . Both my wife and I bought this at the terminal for $139 each. Pretty steep increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty steep increase Yes, I was super surprised when we purchased it. But since I lived in there for 9 days, it was worth it. I do think it is a huge increase over what I was expecting.

anastasia3939 Posted January 5, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Ugh! I was sold at $139. At $189, I don't think it's a go :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawntrip Posted January 5, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Does anyone know if $189 is the new price for all 9 day Gem cruises, or could it have been higher on a holiday cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmenandsimon Posted January 6, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I just called ncl earlier today and for my 9 day cruise on the gem this Saturday, the spa pass is $189, price subject to change Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted January 6, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Ugh! I was sold at $139. At $189, I don't think it's a go :-( You are going President's week - it will be packed with kids, with some cold sea days. You will absolutely not regret the spa pass! The price does go up with holiday weeks. We got it on the Breakaway during a holiday period, and it was $199 pp, well worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpiers Posted January 10, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm having second thoughts about purchasing a spa pass at $189! $50 jump in price seems very steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAMILYCRUISER514 Posted January 10, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Just a question, those who paid the $189 rate did the purchase the pass in the terminal prior to boarding on in the spa afterwards? That may be the difference since the terminal price is SUPPOSED to be a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be the difference since the terminal price is SUPPOSED to be a deal. Sorry to tell you, the $189 was purchased in the terminal for the Gem holiday cruise. It bummed me out since we purchased 2 but imho, it was sooo worth it. The cruise was crowded and I spent many hours a day in there, reading quietly, and using all the facilities. I had a balcony but was surrounded by smokers, so the only quiet place for my reading and relaxing was the spa. A little reading, a trip to the hot tub, a little reading, a trip to the warm tile beds, a little reading, a trip to the sauna, a bit of the rain shower, reading, thallasotherapy pool (insert nap) ... need I go on?

lolane1 Posted January 10, 2014 #18 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Where do you purchase stuff in the terminal? I can't remember ever seeing things for sale. After you check in and pass the photographers, there was a table on the left hand side with spa representatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolane1 Posted January 10, 2014 #19 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Spa staff were absolutely lovely!! Best part of the cruise imho. Came home after the cruise and for the first time did not need a vacation from my vacation. Ultimate chillaxer. However, if you don't spend much time there, witnessed by the number of times I was alone or virtually alone, it is a steep price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpiers Posted January 12, 2014 Author #20 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I too am having second thoughts about paying $189 for the spa pass instead of $139. Are they offering anything more for the $189 price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsak123 Posted January 12, 2014 #22 Share Posted January 12, 2014 on 1/1/14 the price was $189.00 I was shocked since the price went up a lot since my previous cruise which was last year at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
