LOL!! Right! I will be spending plenty of time in the District Brew House, hence the need to go to the Fitness Center and work it off so I don't gain 50 lbs in 1 week!

Does anyone have photos of the Fitness Center? What type of group fitness classes will be offered? Thank you in advance! We sail in January...68 days!!! 

For the 10-day sailing the spa pass was $159 if purchased before sailing. Once on board, I believe it was $179.

Thank you!! Great review, btw. We've sailed the Epic twice and love it!!

We climbed up to the top of the stairs, and then accidently broke into the spa, which is where it eventually leads to. In my defence, there may be a 'crew only' sign on the spa side of the door, but there certainly isn't one on the staircase side. It comes out on the spa balcony:

 

 

I knew they were doing spa tours as it was embarkation day so I thought we'd just play it cool and blend in with the others checking out the spa. Unfortunately, there was only a couple of people around and they immediately asked us what we were doing and where we came from. Busted! :eek:

 

I admitted that we kind of broke in, which didn't go down particularly well. I then tried to make amends by gushing about how much we wanted to see the spa facilities, so we then had to put up with a 20 minute tour and hard sell of a spa pass. Phew. We escaped with our lives (and money) and exited through the changing rooms. I took a few sneaky snaps as there was nobody around:

 

Spa changing room

 

Womens sauna with cool floor to ceiling windows

 

Nice Elemis toiletries

 

Towels and robes

 

The spa was lovely but we couldn't justify the cost really. We resolved to try and get a day pass on a port day, as we weren't planning to get off the ship in Morocco. I'd also have liked to try a spa treatment but at 4x the cost of what I would pay at home, again I couldn't justify it. They did do some decent specials later in the week, but even then they were still 2x the usual price!

We are booked on the Epic in February 2017 and I'm curious as to the cost of the spa pass for the week. I originally booked a spa balcony, but downgraded to an inside and will buy the spa pass once onboard. Huge savings!!
