Laconium

The body is so warmed up that after a short time it is ideally decontaminated by intensive perspiration. The circulation is stimulated, the elimination of metabolic waste accelerated and the body's own defenses are mobilized. The regular perspiration in the Laconium moreover helps to reduce stress over the long term. The heartbeat is stimulated and blood pressure regulated. The result is a feeling of freshness and deeper mental and physical relaxation. The time spent in the Laconium depends on individual preference but the purging effect already starts after 15 to 20 minutes. In Roman times, sweat and purification bathshada relatively constant temperature. After twenty minutes, the sweat bath can be supplemented with a shower to stimulate the circulation and effectively support the purification process.

In our modern bathing landscapes, more and more people are becoming increasingly appreciative of the interaction of high humidity and radiant heat between these temperatures 40 - 50°C or 104 - 112° F. The gentle care and regeneration of skin and hair, as well as relief of the respiratory organs, are among the greatest benefits of the caldarium.

The ideal combination of steam and fragrances, which is found in the aroma bath, enhances the effect even more.

Rasul® Bath (on Carnival Splendor only)

A unique and special experience for every client. After a short shower, different medicinal earths are applied to the body in the Rasul. One begins to coat oneself with the various healing mud. Cozy warmth and low humidity quickly dries the mud on the skin. With several steam infusions, the room is slowly heated up, and as the humidity increases, the room fills with the aroma of herbs being steamed on the stove. The mud liquefies on the skin and creates a tingling sensation. Finger bowls – with running water built into the arms of the seats – allow the client to keep the mud moist while rubbing on their skin. This removes dead skin cells. Supported by the massaging effect, the subcutaneous tissue is tightened; the muscular tone and metabolism are stimulated. Note: charges apply.

• Combination bath from dry to moist with mud rub
  
• Temperatures: starting at approximately 100.4° F (38°C) rising to 115 -122°F (46 - 50°C)
  
• Environment: dry rising to 80% atmospheric humidity
  
• By a continuous rise in ambient temperature and humidity excessive overloading of the blood circulation is avoided

How do they know if you smoke?

 

I think what you really meant is if you are a smoker you may not want to book that category as you are not allowed to smoke in the cabin or on the balcony.

There is nothing prohibiting a smoker from booking that category.
