brooklynfc Posted March 4, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I love the cloud 9 spa that I've used on Dream and Magic. I know the Sunshine has Cloud 9, but I've heard rumors it doesn't have the heated mineral pool? Does it have the complete Cloud 9 or just a partial? This may determine if I really need it or not. And how crowded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklynfc Posted March 4, 2016 Author #2 Share Posted March 4, 2016 It took me 20 mins., but I finally dug deep enough on here to find out that it does NOT have the pool, but does have the other spa rooms. FYI if anyone else is looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenMo Posted March 4, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2016 True, Sunshine does not have the T-pool. Looks like Vista is not going to have one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2excursion Posted March 5, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2016 True, Sunshine does not have the T-pool. Looks like Vista is not going to have one either. Wow! Good lookin out! Those deckplans for Vista make it look like they'll have a very tiny thermal suite. I wonder if they'll even get the 4 different rooms like the other ships have, although I don't know if Sunshine got all 4. I never heard any confirmation on that. I can't believe they shrunk Vista's Cloud 9 facilities so much (to make space for lots more staterooms), in addition to the possible elimination of the T-pool. The deck plans do say there's a spa in there, but that might be a regular hot tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirp Posted March 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Sad to hear Vista Cloud 9 will be so small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyeman27 Posted March 5, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 5, 2016 If they don't have Thalasso pools I don't consider them Cloud 9 Spas. The Dream class ships and the Splendor have Thalasso pools... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenMo Posted March 5, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) When people start coming back with actual pictures of the spa area, hopefully it won't be as bad as it looks. There's no way I'd get a Spa cabin on Vista if that's all there is to it. Edited March 5, 2016 by KenMo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrcjr98 Posted March 13, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 13, 2016 So is there not even a hot tub in the spa? I usually buy a spa pass just to avoid the crowded hot tubs by the pool!! Thanks for any info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2excursion Posted March 14, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 14, 2016 So is there not even a hot tub in the spa? I usually buy a spa pass just to avoid the crowded hot tubs by the pool!! Thanks for any info! The deck plans, in the Cloud 9 Spa, are showing a "spa", which is what they typically use to mean a regular hot tub. Whether that will be a Thalasso-pool or a regular hot tub or if it will end up being nothing at all still remains to be seen. No matter what it is, the whole "thermal suites" area takes up far less space than the thermal suite rooms on the Dream class ships, and that's not even including the T-pool on Dream class ships.

Thank you! What about on the Sunshine? Is there a "spa", also known as a "hot tub" or "Jacuzzi"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is anything there. I don't look at everything on these boards, but I have never found any reports as to what exactly is in Sunshine's Cloud 9 Spa. I know there is no T-pool, & there's nothing on deck plans that suggests it has a hot tub. I have also never seen anyone report as to how many different rooms are a part of their "thermal suite". On Dream class, it's 4 different rooms of various temperatures & scents. Sunshine's & Vista's thermal suites are much smaller, meaning that there are either 4 very small rooms, or perhaps 2 (guessing) regular sized rooms.

teddybear231 Posted March 20, 2016 #13 Share Posted March 20, 2016 What is the cost to purchase Cloud 9 access? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetTechMama Posted March 21, 2016 #14 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I booked a Cloud 9 Spa Balcony room on a cruise next March, partly because of the location and partly because of the spa access. Now I read hear the spa doesn't even have the T-pool, which is supposed to be free to Cloud 9 Spa room inhabitants! What a bummer! Has anyone ever complained about the lack of a T-pool and gotten something different in place of it as an extra??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakersdozen12 Posted March 21, 2016 #15 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Click on this link and then click on "What ships is this on?" and it will tell you what ships have the thalassotherapy pools. http://www.carnival.com/onboard/cloud-9-thalassotherapy-pool Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovecarnivalcruises Posted March 21, 2016 #16 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) From Cruise Critic Spa and Fitness Carnival Vista will host a two-deck Cloud 9 Spa. Inside spa lovers will find a thalassotherapy pool (a seawater pool infused with minerals), four steam chambers, and the line's first infrared sauna and Turkish bath. Also in the spa is a selection of sensory showers that can be programmed with a variety of water, sound, sight and scent settings. The spa also will host a high-tech indoor cycling studio. At the back of Deck 12, cruisers will find the fitness center. The adults-only Serenity retreat will be located all the way forward on Deck 14 and will feature expansive views, comfortable lounging options, a made-to-order salad bar and the line's first outdoor massage huts.

VetTechMama Posted March 21, 2016 #17 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Thank you BakersDozen12. When I made the reservation with the agent on the phone he specifically told me there was a T-pool on this boat because I asked. Obviously a mistake on his part, but I wonder if they substitute some other spa feature freely as they talk about doing with the T-pool. That was my question for everyone. I'm really hoping so!

Has anyone ever complained about the lack of a T-pool and gotten something different in place of it as an extra??? What exactly would you expect to get? The ship does not have that amenity. Nothing says it does. Why should anyone be comp'd for something that was never on the ship to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobsfamily Posted March 21, 2016 #22 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'm a blonde, so you are going to have to explain that to me. I think... it's the name of the ship... Sunshine. So you need lip balm in the Sun at the beach??? does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetTechMama Posted March 21, 2016 #23 Share Posted March 21, 2016 It does actually say that there is a T-pool on the review of the ship and when talking with the Carnival agent he said "full access to the T-pool as part of your room". SO, I would expect that there might be free access to something else if there isn't a T-pool. Simple request, not hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
