Pricing for whole cruise thermal suite access?

[kwokpot]

Going on my 3rd Virgin cruise on the 16 nt SL TA Nov. '24. Does anyone know how much the whole cruise thermal suite passes are? I know Virgin has more shorter itineraries than other cruiselines but I'm curious what the pricing discount would be for a whole cruise. I'll have loot available so I would use that for the spa passa. Is this something i can buy pre-cruise?

There is no such thing.  You pay per visit.  You can only book spa after boarding, and that includes the thermal suite.

On my last cruise I paid for 1 day port day access but didn't realize there's no whole cruise package pricing.

I think they do it because you must pick a time slot when you book....and they only sell a limited number of passes in each time slot so it is never very crowded.

You could always get a mega rockstar suite as that comes with unlimited thermal suite access 😛

• If you book a massage do you get to use the thermal suit before or after without paying extra? I was told no before

[cantgetin]

No.  Their whole idea is to not overcrowd the thermal suite.  Unless you are mega, there is no unlimited use, no unscheduled use, etc.  THey have a booking limit for each time slot, and if that is reached, they won't book anyone else in that period.  It isn't like some other lines where you book a day and can come and go.  You book a very specific 3 or 4 hour time slot.  THe 4 hour slots overlap dinner.  No freebies, length of cruise, or anything else.

When I was on SL, they were looking to sell me a weekly pass. I expect it was for one slot per day. More money than I wanted to spend.

IMHO, the thermals on NCL are nicer.

I agree, NCL has the best thermal suites. Having said that I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed using the thermal suite on the VL. I thought I wouldn't like the unisex changing and showering facilities but I thought they were just fine.

I’ve seen a lot of people mention the changing space but I didn’t find it strange at all, much nicer to have single occupancy cubicles in general rather than look at naked people even of the same gender.
