rawley2 Posted March 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Our son will be with us on this cruise. He is 18 years old and if he is staying in the spa balcony with us will we need to buy him a spa pass? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawley2 Posted March 5, 2018 Author #2 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I answered this myself I guess. We are 90 days out and cant buy spa passes. We can make reservations and book the circus so he is included. Also there website reads the cabin holds 2 to 3 people and reads nothing anyplace about the 3rd person not included. Only that people under 18 are not allowed in. Just posting this in case someone else has the question later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnrich Posted March 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 5, 2018 We had a midship balcony for our Sept Bermuda cruise. There were three of us in the cabin and we planned on getting Thermal Spa Passes. When I called NCL, they suggested we upgrade to a Spa Balcony because all three of us would get access to the Thermal Spa and it ended up being almost $200 cheaper overall.

He is 18 years old and if he is staying in the spa balcony with us will we need to buy him a spa pass? Thanks All guests in Spa cabins have access to the Thermal Suite. You son must be 18 at embarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odaisydukeo Posted March 6, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Not sure if anyone can answer this- I booked a guarantee Balcony, but now that I have been assigned my room, it says "Spa Balcony"-- do I get the spa perks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegeeter Posted March 6, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Yes you do! Looks like you lucked out. Congrats and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So spa access with a spa category room isn't really a perk (like UBP or SDP). It comes with the room regardless of any promo or or special from NCL. Much like haven access comes with the haven rooms whether you get the room on an upgrade bid or book it directly. It's as much a part of the room as the bed or the toilet hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtkenmore Posted March 6, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I can confirm that ONLY the first 2 passengers in a Spa Balcony get access to the spa. I just booked Thanksgiving on Encore today and she read the "terms and conditions" of the Spa Balcony room... Must be 18 to use the spa; only the first two passengers have free access; if I add a third person, we must buy an additional pass if they want to use the spa; blah blah blah... So no, a spa room does not include all 3 people in the price. Sorry to say but I've confirmed this on multiple occasions as we usually book a spa room.

If you bid on an upgraded room that does NOT include spa access, then you will LOSE access to the spa if you win the bid. We were going to bid on a Haven room our last cruise but for sh*ts and giggles to see if we could win it but when I confirmed we would then have to pay out of pocket for the Spa, I said, NOPE. I'd rather keep the spa than stay in the Haven and then have to pay another $200+/person to get in the spa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It included the Spa access. It was just 2 of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only place that I have heard this; the description of the room (I'll be on the Escape) and the reports of others implies that all people in the Spa Balcony rooms have access to the spa. I very much hope that you are incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call NCL and ask. I’ve had multiple people read me terms and conditions when I’ve booked spa rooms and they always state it includes spa access for the first two only.

Or, who you talk to. reading above we can see it's not how it works for all. NCL reps never seem to know on lots of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
