funinthsun Posted April 9, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I'll be on Breakaway in May, after she relocates to Miami. Can anyone tell about the spa? In particular, the thermal pass. We got so spoiled on MSC Seaside.. (fantastic thermal suite area).. I'm thinking of getting one, but I would really like to hear a little feedback... Is there a salt room, sno room? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugg Posted April 9, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2019 There’s a salt room for sure. I don’t think I’ve seen a snow room, but I would love one! You can, however, ask your butler to fill your whirlpool with ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc2nicho Posted April 10, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hi we had the Thermal Spa passes on Breakaway for a NYE sailing this year. All 3 of us loved the Spa, it was a great place to get away from the crowds and the spa never felt crowded. There was a salt room....no snow room. A few other sauna like rooms, the heated tile loungers along with lots of other regular loungers with window views. Hot tub, pool along with a therapy type of pool attached to regular pool with some strong currents that was really nice to be in. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely purchase again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzequ Posted April 10, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 10, 2019 DH and I took took the BA out of NY 7 times during its years home ported there. I got the Spa Pass every time, the spa is my “excursion”. The BA Spa has a small coff, tea, ice water “bar” as you enter, then loungers and heated loungers stretching from startboard to port. There’s a large “therapy pool” with jets along the side at intervals, a waterfall in the center. There’s a jacuzzi on one side of the pool and a cut out section of the pool with massive jet/bubble action on the other side. Then stretching back toward the port side there’s a sauna, a steam room, a salt room and a scented steam room (great for opening up sinuses). It’s a lovely area; quiet, relaxing even when crowded. I hope you enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Deeliteful Posted April 10, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I booked a spa pass for my cruise in June but have just cancelled it as I didn’t think I would make much use of it in the Caribbean. Can you buy a day pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price was $249 on the Bliss for a seven day Caribbean (compared to $199 on Escape the year prior). Just went in February 2019. Don’t know if it’s a fleet wide increase or just the Bliss. Looking at my app for Breakaway next February, it’s odd that no price is shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeesFan4Life Posted April 11, 2019 #12 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Do they let you take a tour/peek inside before you commit for the week? Seems like $400 for two is a lot to spend without seeing it first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are heated loungers, and a hot tub. There is one large pool with numerous jets, a waterfall, and a lounge area. In addition to the heated loungers there are plenty of regular loungers.

hilcadon Posted April 13, 2019 #16 Share Posted April 13, 2019 We bought the weekly passes on our Breakaway Bermuda cruise a few years ago. If I remember correctly you could buy a day pass is there were any available. It all depended on how many weekly passes had been sold. Also I believe that they would also be available on port days.

AZYAYA Posted April 13, 2019 #19 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I’ve sailed on the MSC Seaside and the Breakaway. NCL Spa is much bigger and more amenities. I prefer NCLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perditax Posted April 15, 2019 #21 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Thalassotherapy pool (the big pool) in the thermal suite on Breakaway was not heated this past week. (Usually it's 'warm', but not hottub hot.) Didn't bother complaining about it (ship was understaffed and had a lot of other issues). Maybe it'll be fixed by then. Otherwise the spa area was fine.
