This is the one and only Thalasso therapy pool which has some jets. This is the cold therapy plunge pool for one person. Both pools require walking up and down 5-7 steps. That would just be begging me for a face plant! LOL! Edited June 21 by graphicguy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sugar Magnolia Posted June 21 #754 Share Posted June 21 One improvement in the thermal suite on the Joy is the heated lounges with a smooth surface instead of the tiled surface on the other ships. There are also outlets all around the suite so I can play my music to drown out the space age music and the snoring around me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted June 21 Author #762 Share Posted June 21 No Haven only Sauna that I could find. Stayed up in this area quite a bit, though…hot tubs! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been to the hot tub and lounger area in the Haven, but haven’t seen a specific Haven only sauna. If I remember, I’ll go look later today or tomorrow! Have you checked out the Haven sun deck area. It's really nice with cabanas and umbrellas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite nice. Not having the little Tur…..ummm angels running around is a huge bonus! Which brings me to another topic. Parents….other guests do not think your kids are the same darlings you think they are. We are not here to babysit them. If they are misbehaving, make certain it only happens briefly. Most, if not all of us are parents, too. So please do not tell us we don’t know what it’s like. We do! If you insist on drinking at any of the bars, the bartenders and waiters are not going to allow your little darlings to sit at the bar. Don’t brow beat them as a result. It’s NCL POLICY! Moreover, they are not allowed to order at the bars, either…not soft drinks, not water, not shirley temples….nothing! Don’t allow them to “play” in the food areas because you’re not willing to be a parent and watch them! Instead, grab your drinks, take the little munchkins back to your cabin so you can supervise them while you insist on drinking. Better yet, explain to them the correct way to behave in public. This is not only an NCL issue. You may think none of this applies to your kids because they’re so well behaved. Let me be succinct, it applies to ALL PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN! There…I feel better!

Nah…just something that happened earlier today. There are kids in the Haven. Parents pay a lot of money to have them stay. I get that. What it doesn’t do is allow a family, any family to dominate the Haven. The Parents were upset their kids couldn’t sit at the bar while they were drinking. They were also upset they had to get drinks for their kids because the kids aren’t allowed to order drinks at the bar. The kids, clearly feeling as entitled as their parents were, mimicked what I’m sure they see at home, and threw a little hissy fit as a result! We’re all trying to enjoy ourselves while this embarrassing scene unfolds. The parents were looking for backing from the rest of us in the peanut gallery. Didn’t get it! C’mon….seriously? 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sugar Magnolia Posted June 21 #771 Share Posted June 21 On the topic of parents… I attended a vocalist performance yesterday at The Social. Parents and toddler sat front and center. Toddler acted up several times during the performance, disturbing the vocalist as well as the audience. You could feel the audience was on edge, some shushing the toddler but parents still didn’t seem to care enough to either remove the toddler or sit somewhere other than right in front of the vocalist. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
