prbffd28 Posted October 25, 2019 #2728 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Has anyone tried to purchase the Thermal Suite passes yet? I cannot find the option listed anywhere in the list under the Spa tab. I'm thinking of giving it a try on our February 9, 2020 sailing. Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks!! BTW, there are some new photos showing up on Instagram under #nclencore if anyone is interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do a spa tour on the first day and decide if you want one. We bought a week and really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_sobe Posted October 25, 2019 #2731 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Has the hull grown on anyone who hated it when it was announced? Personally I prefer abstract hull are on ships compared to painted gems, suns, turtles, and mermaids, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RCCL ships look just boring and I can spot rust spots! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more thing - Celebrity Summit has been a frequent visitor to Bermuda over many years - he looked awful in white with plenty of rust spots, but in the last year he went thru extensive dry dock and got repainted dark blue and it looked new when he came to Bermuda at beginning of this year's cruising season. Our friends were on him and they said he looked fantastic inside. White = rust spots - I hate looking at them!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photos...ugly. Videos...ugly. In person...pending, but more than likely ugly. Encore looks more "AIDA" than NCL. Not a good look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate at 50 Posted October 26, 2019 #2738 Share Posted October 26, 2019 The hull art is still growing on me. But I am a traditionalist. I love the look of the Holland America ships with the deep blue and the drawings of the Scarlet Lady. The Encore looks smooth in the water when she is moving. I also miss the wonky C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite NCL hull art is GETAWAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortFees45 Posted October 26, 2019 #2741 Share Posted October 26, 2019 The hull art is very important to me because I spend a huge amount of my time on a cruise looking at the ship's hull art. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there, Just FYI, we are on the Encore the first week of December and we’ve already booked the Thermal Spa week pass. I called and booked it over the phone because I couldn’t find it on the website. We’re in the Haven so not sure if it matters. We did the same on the Escape, but we were also in the Haven (I have no idea If this affects the ability to prebook or if it was just a coincidence).

gatorchinsky Posted October 27, 2019 #2749 Share Posted October 27, 2019 The TA is just a week away. While we are not on this cruise and actually cancelled our Thanksgiving cruise aboard the Encore, I am really looking forward to reading the reviews and to hear what people actually think. I am hoping for another great “Live” review from TheDougOut and others. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
