Spa on Edge: SEA Thermal Suite

[njguy_south]

Anyone who has been in the Edge and experienced the SEA Thermal Suite, what is the experience like for the different rooms, especially the Rainfall Water Therapy Room? Also, nothing mentions on the website mentions a thalassotherapy pool, but when booking the week-long pass to the SEA Thermal Suite, this is the description:

 

"Set sail on a journey to ultimate relaxation with this sensory oasis. Inspired by traditional Turkish Baths, our Thermal Suite features heated chaise lounges as well as aromatic steam and sauna grottos - a perfect interlude to your day. Then, soak in our Thalassotherapy Pool, a therapeutic, natural-bubbling salt-water spring. This mineral-rich body of water has healing powers for de-stressing, pain relief, and to soothe dry skin."

 

Thanks!

There is no whirlpool or hot tub in any thermal suite in any Celebrity ship.The rainfall water you're asking about is a co-ed shower in the thermal suite. It's a shower. TBH while the E-Class ships are stunningly beautiful, their spas fall far short. The best features of the E-class thermal suites are the heated tile loungers,  two types of steam rooms (one is more like a turkish bath) an infrared Sauna (I still prefer the traditional sauna but i think cruiseships are transitioning away from those since I think the infrared one are less maintenance and less prone to issues). That's it. The other couple of rooms do nothing. 

Edit: The Thalassotherapy pool mentioned in the Celebrity write-up is on M-Class ships in the solarium, which means they are accessible to everyone at any time and have nothing to do with the spa or thermal suite.

For us the thermal suite or as we still refer to as the Persian Garden is more for looking good instead of being practical or comfortable. 
 

the heated loungers don’t seem as comfortable as those on the S. Class. 15 minutes was enough as it started to get uncomfortable.     They are also under a slanted window that allow a lot of sun to beat on you.   They are also very close together and along with the slanted windows can be difficult to get on depending on your size and mobility.     On the S class we could lay there for a long time but would leave after 30 minutes as posted if people were waiting.  As another posted the rain showers are coed or community  and is in tunnel that has different stations that you  move along to.   They aren’t the individual stalls like on the S or M class.  
 

The individual rooms are hype.  What is the purpose of sitting in a room with a crystal stone  or a salt block.   In the Caribbean I can sit on my balcony and have a heated sauna and get plenty of salt air and watch the waves instead of looking at 4 walls 

 

the swinging chairs aren’t comfortable and don’t really swing much as they are tethered to the floor, but they look nice.   I never seen anyone sitting in them 

 

The loungers in the solarium are more comfortable and don’t cost any extra.  

 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
