Norwegian Encore Thermal Spa

[Jenjohncourt]

I’m currently onboard this beautiful ship. Having the best time celebrating my birthday. One of the highlights is the Thermal Spa!! It hasn’t been crowded and worth every penny.

You're braver than I am. I stuck my head into the snow room and noped right back out of there (and back into the thalassotherapy pool).

I’m so jealous!  On my two trips on the Escape the Thermal Spa my favorite part of the ship.  Cannot imagine sailing without it!

We have a spa balcony booked for a cruise soon. Can't wait! Snow room for sure, and the salt room.

I agree. I love it too. I haven’t been on the Escape yet. One day….

You will love it!! This has been an incredible trip. Much needed after the past year and a half. I am VERY happy we are finally back on a cruise.

It looks amazing, we are thinking about booking at a last second cruise on this ship next month in a Spa Suite possibly. How busy around the ship has it been in general? Can you get dinner reservations fairly easy? Did they ever announce or you hear how many passengers on board by chance?

@JenjohncourtHow much do they charge a couple for a week pass?

I think it’s around $299. Worth every dollar.

I love the snow room (or at least for a few minutes, lol). I'm going to be on Encore in 3 weeks, and still debating on if I'm going to purchase the Thermal Spa pass. Your pictures have almost convinced me!

Beautiful!

 

May I ask you a couple of questions

- Is the sauna also open? 

- How steep are the stairs to get to the T-pool?

 

Thanks,

Voyager

is access to the Spa only on a weekly basis, or do they have day passes?  I assume I can purchase this once I am on the ship?  There are three of us in my party.  Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.  I am a novice to cruising.

A YouTube Blogger recently did a day pass whilst on ship in Ketchikan and it was $59pp for a single day pass on a port day.  They said the single day passes were not available on sea days on their sailing.

Yes the sauna is open. It’s not very steep at all. They have very sturdy hand rails too.

It depends on the ship and the itinerary.  I paid $199 for my upcoming cruise to Bermuda on the Breakaway.  I think I paid $299 for the week on the same trip on the Escape pre-COVID.  Either way, it’s worth every penny.

For the Sep 4 sailing on the Encore, it is $249 pp if booked pre- cruise.  I believe it is an additional $20 if booked onboard (that would jive with the quotes of $269).

 

Pre-booking is done by phone call; not available online.

It was never crowded which was nice, I only saw one fight over a heated lounger.

Yes it was great.  Busy at times but not crowded.   There is always that one person who thinks they can save 4 heated loungers for the whole family....

There was no discount for a couple.

If you purchase a spa treatment is access to this area included for that day?
