Rare PhillyTravelBug Posted November 12, 2018 #26 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I did the mid week offer they had on the Getaway and regret not purchasing it for the entire week. With my cruise booked for next year on the Bliss , I will surely be purchasing the pass ahead of time. Worth every penny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums You can also get a regular balcony and pay the $200 per week for the spa access and come out about $500 per person cheaper. Any spa cabin that costs more than the cost of the spa for a week than a regular cabin is not worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a little under 60 days and Balcony ( highest category available) is more than what I paid for Spa Balcony. Now it would cost $650.00 more. If I remember correctly the reason we booked spa Balcony was a better price than booking Balcony/Spa passes separately. Not saying it's always that way but people need to look/shop what is best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtsnd1900 Posted November 15, 2018 #30 Share Posted November 15, 2018 $249pp on my May Bliss to Alaska cruise. Was $199 last month on the Escape to Canada (though we purchased about 3 months out, online), and $99 a year ago on the Escape to Caribbean. This was the last time I will buy the pass - no longer a good value in my opinion. Enjoyed my time in there, was relaxing, and thankfully the staff was active in clearing out the chair hogs stuff from the lounge chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spa passes may be $500 next week as Andy and Frank just ordered 6 new ships a billion each. Gotta love it. 🙂 It's always 5 o'clock on the ship.

Wow, I’ve never seen it that low on any of the older smaller ships! We paid $199 on the Breakaway 7 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid $199 on the Breakaway 7 years ago. 7 NCL cruises and two more booked... I've never seen a spa pass at $99 on a 7 day or longer cruise. Maybe on a 3 or 4 day cruise but not on 7 days. I'd have to call BS on that. And we've purchased a spa pass on every single one of those 7 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterCoach Posted August 24, 2019 #34 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I have read here on cruise critic that the spa mini suites can experience a lot of deck noise since the location on deck 15 is under the sun deck located on deck 16. Anyone have experience with the Spa Mini Suites on the Bliss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if I may add, WE only book the spa on TransAtlanics, where there are many sea-days. On port-intensive cruises the Spa price may not be worth the cost.

MasterCoach Posted August 25, 2019 #37 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) We booked a mid ship mini suite and then added the spa pass. We are sailing on the Bliss and the various reviews seem to indicate the sun deck creates a lot of noise for the spa mini suites on deck 15 which are located under the sun deck and pools on deck 16. My hope is NCL does not oversell the thermal suite. Edited August 25, 2019 by MasterCoach error on deck location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is 100 days, 90 days, or 120 days out? The reason I ask is when I go online (I am currently 126 days out), it says "It is too early to book this item for your cruise. Please check back 8/10/2018 to book"... That is at the 120 day mark... so I am confused.. Is it 120 days out, 100 days out, or 90 days out? Our cabin is a mini-suite with large balcony- M6 category (not a spa mini suite). Thank you. 🙂 120 days for us. Just booked it for 12/29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterCoach Posted August 31, 2019 #47 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) We booked a mini suite MA for the mid ship location and purchased the thermal spa pass online. It was available for us when we booked the cruise at around 90 days. The thermal pass is in the spa offerings.

stevendom57 Posted November 24, 2019 #48 Share Posted November 24, 2019 My cruise is an 11 day Greek island cruise. Port intensive, only 2 sea days. Most port days are from 8:00 until 20:00. It doesn't sound like it will be worth. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterCoach Posted November 25, 2019 #50 Share Posted November 25, 2019 We just finished 21 days on the Bliss. Had a thermal package. The thermal spa is wonderful. Some days it does become party central and they do oversell the packages. Some days it was loud and crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
