If you are talking about the Thermal Suite in the spa it isn't noisy as people tend to just relax.  The hot tub is very large - enough for at least 12 people I would say if not more but that would include standing up as the seating is very limited.  The main shortage is if you wanted one of the heated benches.  Those are often in short supply. I have not been in the Cloud Spa so I can't compare, sorry.

We went through there in August of 2022.  There was a seperate sitting area for suites/elites but it was just seats, no real seperate area.  The person in charge assigned you a seat based on when you arrived and we all thought that meant when it was time to board the ship that was the order you would board in.  Nope, when it was time to board they just opened the doors and said everyone could board.  It was a free for all: no priority for those in wheelchairs or needing assistance, no priority for suites/elites, nothing.

Anyone know if you are on a B2B and do a ship's tour on turnaround day (Everglades or Everglades with Flamingo Park) what time you get back to the ship?

No free photo in March; they took them but you had to pay if you wanted a copy

From my understanding it depends on when you had booked the cruise but I don't know the cut off date. We were able to get it free on our trip last month but we had booked the cruise over a year ago. However I had to email them to get it for free (someone from promotions then called me about it).

We were in a full suite but did not have a red-eye flight

Staff worked from 7am to 10pm. Snacks were on the bar, 4 or 5  different items.

Could you get drinks (tea, coffee etc) when there was no staff like on other ships?

Was the lounge staffed 24/7?  I am assuming not but you could still go in and get hot (or cold) drinks and possibly snacks even if not staffed like on other ships?

Sailing on Sunday.  Still haven't gotten "the call". Oh well. Just as long as we get on board, all will be well.

It is closed until 3/22 for "office modifiations" 😞

But if you have the OLD Plus package you do have to pay the $5 if you call.

Do you recall which direction they start from - by the entrance or the other side?  We have a cruise on the Enchanted coming up and are hoping to get seats in the Sanctuary.  Not that I need the pastries but...

Sorry I missed the earlier response.  It has been one of those weeks.

Is there an internet cafe?  Looking to see if there is a place to print off boarding passes or for those who don't have a computer to use one.

But it isn't on all disembarkations, up to CBP.

Is there an internet cafe? If not where do you print off boarding passes & other things and where to those who didn't bring a computer go or are you out of luck?

And which options can you pick from for the first night complimentary speciality dining please.

Is afternoon tea and lunch still offered in the Sanctuary? With so many more people I would think it would be hard to do unless they have more staff working it.

thanks.  This isn't exactly what we have but similar

What about in Auckland?

There is (supposed to be) an adults only area near the spa but it is small

Thanks

Can you bring candy (chocolate) or wrapped granola bars into NZ?

What about what I call a charging station?  A place to plug in multiple items but not an extension cord.

You can also order breakfast from the MDR menu for that day (not Sabitini's menu).  Never tried to order lunch recently (did years ago but as we all know things have changed).  And we were not charged $5 for calling when on the "new" Plus plan.

You can request sun or shade but that is it.  The message is relayed to the on-board concierge who then calls the Sanctuary to reserve the spot.  So if you have a bad concierge it may not happen.
