dotsofunn Posted September 7, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I am having a very hard time trying to find detailed information about the Thermal Spa on the Veendam. (I found lots of info on the other HL ship but not Veendam) How large is hydo pool or is it more of a jacuzzi? How many hot stone loungers? Special Showers??? What else? Is there a outside deck off of the spa area to sit and relax? Is it worth the $100 or so? We will be on Oct. sailing to Bermuda and will be off the ship most of the day. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted September 7, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I can only help a TAD. The thermal pool on the Veendam is nothing more than a whirl pool -- just like the ones you see by the regular pool. I think I saw 4 or 5 stone loungers. There are showers in that area -- have no idea how many. I don't do the spa thing on a ship. I saw this thread earlier today and truely had hoped that someone who had been on the S class ships would fill in all the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotsofunn Posted September 10, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Anyone??? Still looking for more answers! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaucho39 Posted September 10, 2010 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2010 We love the spa. The pool is jacuzzi size and fits maybe 4 people. The tile loungers are heated and there are aromatic showers, steam rooms etc. There is peaceful music playing in the background. It's a great place to go before dinner ang get really relaxed. There is a Small observation deck but you can't sit out there. Too small and there's no chairs. Sometimes they'll be nobody in there but you .

Redsailstheseas Posted September 10, 2010 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2010 There are 5 heated tile loungers, 2 aromatherapy showers and a steam room. They normally have a spa tour in the afternoon before the ship sails...you can check it out for yourself and decide, based on what you see. Have a great cruise...we sailed in June to Bermuda and had a wonderful time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babygirl722 Posted September 10, 2010 #7 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I checked it out and found it paled in comparison to the Thermal Suites that I am used to. The pool was very small and there were only 4-5 ceramic chairs. I fear that I have been spoiled by the Hydrotherapy Pool that the NCL Gem has. It was huge, powerful, empty most days and very therapeutic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare photomikey Posted September 10, 2010 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2010 In Alaska, it's priceless - warm you up in a jiffy. In Mexico it's overrated - I'm already warm. My $0.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted September 11, 2010 #9 Share Posted September 11, 2010 ...there were only 4-5 ceramic chairs. True, the pool on the Vista/Signature ships is bigger, and nicer, but how many chairs do you need? The S-class ships are small, and don't carry so many passengers. Four-five ceramic loungers is plenty for the number of people who will be using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
