Laconium

The body is so warmed up that after a short time it is ideally decontaminated by intensive perspiration. The circulation is stimulated, the elimination of metabolic waste accelerated and the body's own defenses are mobilized. The regular perspiration in the Laconium moreover helps to reduce stress over the long term. The heartbeat is stimulated and blood pressure regulated. The result is a feeling of freshness and deeper mental and physical relaxation. The time spent in the Laconium depends on individual preference but the purging effect already starts after 15 to 20 minutes. In Roman times, sweat and purification bathshada relatively constant temperature. After twenty minutes, the sweat bath can be supplemented with a shower to stimulate the circulation and effectively support the purification process.

The ideal duration of stay in the steam bath is 10 to 15 minutes. The area is heated by the influx of steam. In ancient Roman times, the steam bath (“caldarium“) was the heart of the installation. In our modern bathing landscapes, more and more people are becoming increasingly appreciative of the interaction of high humidity and radiant heat between these temperatures 40 - 50°C or 104 - 112° F.

Rasul® Bath (on Carnival Splendor only)

A unique and special experience for every client. After a short shower, different medicinal earths are applied to the body in the Rasul. One begins to coat oneself with the various healing mud. Cozy warmth and low humidity quickly dries the mud on the skin. With several steam infusions, the room is slowly heated up, and as the humidity increases, the room fills with the aroma of herbs being steamed on the stove. The mud liquefies on the skin and creates a tingling sensation. Finger bowls – with running water built into the arms of the seats – allow the client to keep the mud moist while rubbing on their skin. This removes dead skin cells. Supported by the massaging effect, the subcutaneous tissue is tightened; the muscular tone and metabolism are stimulated. Note: charges apply.

Combination bath from dry to moist with mud rub

Temperatures: starting at approximately 100.4° F (38°C) rising to 115 -122°F (46 - 50°C)

Environment: dry rising to 80% atmospheric humidity

By a continuous rise in ambient temperature and humidity excessive overloading of the blood circulation is avoided

OK, makes sense now.;) We stayed in spa suite on the Splendor and really enjoyed the use of the T pool. Went almost every day.

[sjcruiser]

I was going to get the spa pass for the week during our upcoming cruise a few months back, and decided against it after I found out the Sunshine doesn't have one. My mom and sister just returned off the Splendor, and raved above their spa balcony, and all the spa amenities on that ship. This cruise being 7 days with two sea days, and four ports of call would limit our time being able to enjoy it (IMO), so we'll probably pass on this cruise, and opt for it on the next (unless our guarantee balcony cabin turns into a spa balcony cabin).

I did buy the pass for this past March cruise. Don't forget you get fairly generous hours to use. I love the T pools, not crowded, WARM, unlike the spas on decks. We usually do YTD or early dining so I used during the "late dining". No One was there had it to myself most nights, followed by time on the loungers to "dry off". Pure Bliss

[JWGrayson]

We had a spa interior on the Splendor going around South America for 48 days. We had 28 sea days and had plenty of time to enjoy it.

 

So, in Feb 2015, I've booked a spa interior on the Dream for a 7 day cruise. Will not have as much time to use it, but it was pretty cheap. John

[Buckett]

I bought the week long pass when I cruised the Splendor a few years back, and really liked it! I do have a question though, does anyone know if it matters in which order you do the steam/sauna stuff in the thermal suite? Do you start with cool and work your way up to the hottest or vice-versa? I've always been curious about that.

Sorry, I am going on the Breeze. My countdown clock for this new sailing is not working.

 

On a ship the size of the Breeze, I felt it was nice to have a place with a limited number of people and you did not have to worry about not being able to get into the T-Pool.

Just got off the Dream and bought the spa package. If you go on the spa tour the first day of your cruise you get it for $119 instead of the $149. That's the way it was on the Dream...sure it is like that on all. You will absolutely LOVE the pool and other rooms. Very relaxing!!
