jchipgcs Posted October 29, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Specifically on Marina, I understand that Concierge and higher get access to the Spa Terrace area with lounges and what appears to be a hot and cold type whirlpool set up. Does this access also include any indoor areas like steam/sauna, etc? Or is it just the outdoor space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pinotlover Posted October 30, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 30, 2021 The actual spa terrace on Marina has two hot tubs, no cool tubs. The Spa Terrace has card key control. The steam and dry sauna inside is open to everyone. There is no beverage service on the Spa Terrace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmaid Posted November 8, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2021 The info I got on the site says there is a day use fee, if you are not qualified for free access. Anyone know how much it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen it crowded. Some of the time nobody has been in the steam room. Other times only a couple people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how much it is? Cannot answer for Oceania, but on a couple of other lines it runs $70-120 a day. But a different option has been to book a spa treatment* and therefore get either all-that-day or partial-day access to those areas (or occasionally just SOME of those areas--maybe not the thalasso pool or the mud room, etc.). If you won't be getting treatments, might be more economical to just spring for all-cruise access. *As differentiated from salon services, so read the fine print, lol.

Rare pinotlover Posted November 9, 2021 #8 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Seems to me the last price I saw was $75/person/day, but that was 2018 or 2019. Someone aboard now needs to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mauibabes Posted November 9, 2021 #10 Share Posted November 9, 2021 On board Riviera now. Access is Free if Concierge level on up but a Fee for other levels. There are reduced capacities for use of the steam room so making arrangements with the Aquamar staff is wise. We will have to see how the CDC restrictions play out once we are back in US waters come December. For upcoming cruises in the Caribbean, please do not sail with the expectation mask requirements will go away. Safety measures remains #1 and every port of call has their own requirements. Just plan to be flexible and enjoy being back to sea on Oceania. Mauibabes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that masks are not required on board, provided you have double dipped the stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseLibra Posted November 13, 2021 #13 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Masks are required in all indoor public spaces unless you are eating or drinking. Edited November 13, 2021 by CruiseLibra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mauibabes Posted November 13, 2021 #14 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Two things, yes there is a Fee and it is $25 per day. Second, Masks are required no matter how many jabs, just not while eating and drinking. So when we are at a meal, drinking tea, drinking in a bar, or eating In Barista’s or any restaurants, masks are not required. In the TC when you are selecting food or walking around, your mask is required. Solution, always have food or drink accessible and no one will question you. If walking around without a mask properly worn, you will be asked to put on your mask. People on board are definitely trying to follow the guidelines and protocols and no one wants to see even ONE positive test. Mauibabes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgee Posted November 13, 2021 #15 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Does anyone know...Are the stringent mask requirements due to Riviera's location in the Med where countries have strict rules, or is this a corporate policy covering all Oceania ships in all locations? Reason I am wondering is I just spoke to someone who returned from cruising in the same region as Riviera on Celebrity...sounds like mask requirements on his cruise were not as strice. Not asking for opinions here whether the policy is good or bad..just information on whether on ship masking in public indoor areas at all times is an Oceania decision or local government mandate...and whether it prevails/ will prevail on other Oceania ships in other regions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauibabes I am told it is different in the Caribbean, no masks required on board..since we havent sailed there yet it might change..that would not be a surprise..

Jancruz1 It's rather clear from O's published protocols that if masks are required it's due to local regulations, not corporate policy. That is also consistent with mask protocols on O's corporate sibling NCL, where masks have been required on their European cruises but not on their Bermuda and Caribbean cruises. Here's O's published policy, which is consistent with NCL's published policy: https://www.oceaniacruises.com/sites/default/files/2021-10/sailf-safe-health-program-v19.pdf FACE COVERINGS Are face coverings required? Our cruises will operate with 100% vaccination of guests and crew and therefore face coverings are generally not required, subject to local oversight of authorities in the jurisdiction(s) in which the ships are sailing. At this time EU regulations currently require all guests to wear masks onboard while indoors except for when actively eating or drinking or when in their stateroom or suite. Guests will be required to wear masks outdoors when social distancing is not possible. We will continue to update our face coverings policy as protocols evolve and change.
