Celebrity cruise - Thermal suite spa pass

[Ejane]

We're traveling on Celebrity Apex in October. Does anyone know if you can buy a weeks Thermal suite spa pass on a 10 day cruise or can you only buy the weeks pass on a 7 day cruise? It's showing a 10 day pass for 332 dollars which seems like a high price, a weeks pass would suit me better as I wouldn't use it that much to make use of the 10 day pass.

Thanks

My experience had been that the spa passes are for the duration of the cruise unless you buy a single day pass. I agree that the pass is pricey. Though I’ve never visited the thermal suite on an E class ship, on the S class a 7 day pass was $175 pp plus gratuity. I passed on the pass lol. I think they discount a single visit if you go on a port day. Maybe consult a YouTube video for a thermal suite tour to see if it’s really worth it to you.

They only sell day passes or passes that cover the entire cruise. On our first Edge cruise we visited every day and made good uses of our passes. We found going in the early evening around 5/6 pm was great as no one else was there and we had the whole place to ourselves. On our most recent Beyond cruise we didn’t use the pass nearly as much. They don’t really seem to offer any discounts on the E class ships. I’m not sure if I would buy the pass moving forward unless I just wanted to use up some OBC. For what it’s worth on the first day you can go and look around the spa areas so it may be worth stopping by in person to try and determine if buying a pass is worth it for you.

"prim8keeper" posted excellent suggestions. I would only add that we have bought every day cruise passes on our last three or four cruises including Beyond this pass January. Every time we have "left money on the table" sort of speak by not being able for various reasons to visit the spa each day of the cruise (usually miss 2 days). We have an 11 day cruise this coming January again on Beyond, and I am not sure that we will buy cruise passes, although we do have a lot of OBC to burn. Will see....my DW has not voted yet and she is more of a spa fan than me.

 

IMO E-class spas are not as nice as earlier Celebrity ships. Princess "Regal" class (our last Princess cruises) and newer MSC Ships both have spas that are much nicer than Celebrity's ships. As prim8keeper said, you may want to check the spa out before buying a total cruise package.

Okay, thanks for the suggestions. I'll have a look at the videos and maybe check it out first before I buy the pass.

Just a heads up—the heated loungers on the Apex are open to the traffic flow of the spa with people talking and not using their indoor voices. The S class is much quieter

On Celebrity Beyond, how much is the Day Pass?
