kjeanne2001 Posted January 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I hope to book this package in May on the Volendam. Does anyone know the hours they are open? I understand there are only so many passes sold. I really want to wait to buy once on board because from what I have read on these boards the price is better but do not want to miss out. Do they have a tendency to sell out prior to embarkation? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakepatrol Posted January 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hi- we are thermal suite junkies. You'll be fine waiting till you board. We just get on early and it's the fist place we go and secure our spot. Enjoy They are open till 8 or 9 pm we never are up there that late so I'm not sure.

Enjoy INTERESTING - WE ENJOYED THESE FACILITIES ON THE LARGER OOSTERDAM HOWEVER WITH NO POOL IN THE THERMAL AREA ON THE SMALLER VOLENDAM HAVE RESERVATIONS AND WOULD APPRECIATE COMMENTS. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakepatrol Posted January 20, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2014 There is no t-pool on the non vista ships. It's basically a jacuzzi in the same room as the tile loungers. We know this going in but love laying on the tile loungers and looking out the floor to ceiling windows at the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know this going in but love laying on the tile loungers and looking out the floor to ceiling windows at the sea. While it is the same size as a jacuzzi/hot tub, the water is not as hot nor does it have powerful jets like a normal jacuzzi. Its more of a relaxing, soaking tub. As already stated, it is nothing like the t-pools on the larger ships. Perhaps that is why the weekly pass prices are lower (we have found).

I much prefer the T-pool as it's closer to body temperature. So, no sale that cruise. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernphoenix Posted January 21, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Try to be in the thermal spa the morning you are cruising Into Glacier Bay. I was alone, and had the most special view of the sun gleaming on the mountains . I an sorry I didn't have my camera , but the memory will forever be one of my favourite moments in this spa.
