Dream Mud Room - Anyone try it?

[jdcml]

I've seen a few posts here and there about the mud room on the Dream. I've seen a picture of the shower room you use after but not of the treatment room itself. Does anyone know if it's a DYI type of room? The few things that I've read about it indicate that it's a couples session (especially the shower room after :o). I'm wondering if its a private room or is it like a group sauna/steam room. It certainly seems intriguing...

 

As anyone tried this yet? Does anyone have any information on the price? I've searched high and low for pictures and I'll I can find is the rain shower room after the session.

 

Thanks!

Well, this quickly dropped to page 5 this afternoon with how fast these topics change! Maybe someone here in "prime time" will see it. Otherwise I'll just have to wait a few months for even more people to sail on the Dream...:cool:

I don't know if this is the Mud Room you are talking about, but we did the couples retreat. It is an area of the Dream SPA just for couples (behind a lock door) 50 min to 1 Hr. It depends how long you can refuse to un lock the door. We had 2 people knocking for 15 mins before we open it. That's another story. You do have different mud type treatments you can use, hot shower and steam. Love it love it.

 

:p leedm

Sounds similar to the Suriel Bath that's offered on the Disney ships.

This is the thread that had me interested in this whole thing, based on this cool looking shower area. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=24037020

 

I have no problem paying extra for an experience that might be kind of neat. We don't do the casino or many DOD's so I have to leave my money somewhere!

 

I'm piecing it together here and there. Maybe about $95 for the couple for an hour? Wondering how you get the mud out of your bathing suit...but maybe that isn't an issue:confused::eek::confused:

I have no idea, but it sounds cool!

Does anyone know what the mud room is officially called and if you can book it online?

I think it's called "Rasul" on the spa menu, but maybe I'm thinking of another line. "Couples Mud Therapy," perhaps? I haven't been able to find it for online booking, at least on Splendor.

 

When we did the tour on Splendor last time, the tray they showed us in the first room just looked like one pot of mud and a few unlabeled plastic bottles of unknown contents. I was expecting a tea tray's worth of different goodies to try out after reading posts here, not just one big pot. The rooms seemed kind of utilitarian, not like the rest of the thermal suite, and not like the shower shown in the linked review above. (Maybe I missed that bit, or maybe Splendor is different. Anyone?)

 

I did try to book it anyway, but the spa person I dealt with was so annoying that I decided to spend the money elsewhere. :) We do love the spa, and have met a couple of nice staff there, but for the most part we've never been impressed with the aloof attitudes and general vapidity we've found there. (It took AGES for one to drop her bored model pose and come see for herself that the thalassotherapy pool was malfunctioning. It was so hot that no one could even put a pinky toe in it, and they had to shut it for the rest of the cruise.) Maybe it's the fact that DH and I are rather "fluffy" - we're not the best ad for spa life. :p

 

Oh well, who cares, the rest of the spa is terrific, and hopefully we'll give the mud room a try next month. Would love to read more reviews of it!

It is called a "Rasul" or "Rasul Ceremony"- my husband and I did this on the Splendor. I imagine they are identical to the Dream give or take the decor.

 

You are in a private area- the attendant shows you the mud and how to work everything and then leaves. It was a big jar of heated mud with a kind of Eucalyptus smell to it. WARNING: it stings "sensitive" areas like crazy so beware of where it is going if you know what I mean :rolleyes:

 

You then go into your own little private steam area and steam for what felt like a really long time. They warn you of when your time is almost up by dimming the lights. Once they dimmed the lights we went to the shower area. Then you can apply all their lotions and stuff and then when your ready head on out the door! It's very private.

 

I really enjoyed it and my husband really liked it to. We have since done it many times at the Canyon Ranch Spa here in Vegas.

 

If I cruise again on a ship with a Cloud 9 Spa I wouldnt hesitate to do it again!
