gma_pat Posted August 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I do not remember any restrictions on bringing beverages into the Spa however with the slippery wet floors - using a plastic cup would be the safest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whenwillitsnow Posted August 26, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2015 We would take the entire bottle (along with a couple glasses) into the spa area on our last Getaway cruise, not sure if that was breaking the rules or not.

hawkeyetlse Posted August 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I've checked in with a drink in hand several times, never been stopped. Next time I will ask them explicitly what the rules are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda the Book Lover Posted August 26, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Never thought of bringing wine into the spa area...interesting question that I am curious as to answer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russianmom Posted August 26, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Very interesting! I'm in a spa balcony on BA in a few weeks. I'll report back after by trip :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Va. Plumber Posted August 26, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Bottle of wine. Hot tub. Nappy time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelling2Some Posted August 26, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Bottle of wine. Hot tub. Nappy time. Exactly! As far as I'm concerned the main use of hot tubs is that they are a great place to relax with a cocktail, especially under the stars in the evening. I've always done this on NCL ships and was totally shocked (and dismayed) to be told it is not allowed on Carnival ships. Seemed very odd since Carnival is the one with the "fun ships/party hearty" reputation. But, as I said, never an issue anywhere on NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted August 26, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I see nothing wrong with wine (never do!), but I don't think glass should be brought into the spa. If it breaks, and falls into the pool or hot tub, it will have to be drained. Plus, glass can really shatter far and wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochelle_s Posted August 26, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 26, 2015 When I was on the Gem last year they were actually encouraging bringing in a drink to the spa. On the Jade I brought a drink every time. The nice thing about the spa is they are usually in fairly close proximity to the pool (I actually had to pass it every time I went). So stop by the pool bar and get a drink from there as they almost always serve in plastic/acrylic. Very spa friendly! :) Cheers! Rochelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Laszlo Posted August 27, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) We would take the entire bottle (along with a couple glasses) into the spa area on our last Getaway cruise, not sure if that was breaking the rules or not. Staff did not say anything to us! Sorry but that is just stupid, bringing any glass.......cup, bottle of beer, bottle of wine into a spa is a disaster waiting to happen. Can you imagine how many hundreds of pieces of glass would get scattered if anything dropped and broke. It take a heck of a lot of work to empty and clean a hot tub after a glass in broken in one Edited August 27, 2015 by Laszlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxcvbbvcxz Posted August 27, 2015 Author #16 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Sorry, should have titled it "safety cup" of wine Nothing meant by glass of wine... Just saying can you bring a drink in.... Fine to clarify once but boy are people touchy here..( mjkcmom had a nice way to make her point). The others not so much and just have the need to police everyone else.... No need to say something is stupid, why can't we all play nice? I need a a drink now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbryan5 Posted August 27, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 27, 2015 ^^^ Agree 100% A lot of people here think they are a member of the NCL PD. They want to police everyone else. I think it comes down to one thing.. miserable people hate seeing happy people having fun! :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWORK2CRUISE Posted August 27, 2015 #18 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I do not know the NCL rules re: alcohol in the spa but I hope that people are not allowed to bring glass into the spa area. Accidents can and do happen and I would not want to be the one to step on a broken shard of glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochelle_s Posted August 27, 2015 #20 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Well with UBP I think you made my spa time nice...now if I can just get the DH to go get refills...;) Oh I agree wholeheartedly. The only problem is when you go in the spa you have to hand over your key, which makes getting those refills a little problematic. Guess that's why they don't have servers frequenting the spa. :D And just a note for all those panicking about the potential broken glass inthe spa issue -- must not be a big enough issue for the cruise line as they allow beer bottles by the regular pools and spa. That said, I am still a fan/supporter of the use of plastic or acrylic in the spa and pool areas.

zqvol Posted August 28, 2015 #23 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Wondering if you can bring an alcoholic beverage into the spa area? I would prefer Vibe for my relaxing, but being on a Nov cruise out of NYC, have a feeling the weather will not be ideal for the majority of our sea days. If you bring beverages into the spa, please make sure that you use plastic, and not glass. Don't want people getting cut because of a broken glass.

fonrouge82 Posted August 28, 2015 #24 Share Posted August 28, 2015 We purchased the Thermal Suite on the Dawn 8/7-8/14. The spa staff informed us upon arrival that alcoholic beverages were permitted in plastic cups. I'm quite sure if passengers are old enough to drink, they are old enough to abide by the rules. I witnessed nobody in the suite limping from shards of glass in their feet (and my husband and I were there everyday!) Relax, stop policing, and enjoy your cruise!
