MSC Virtuosa Spa question!

[nikoo.s]

Hello! New cruiser here going next week on our first of 2 currently booked 🙂

 

Quick question regarding the aurea spa. Online we only have the option to buy a pass for the entire cruise, but wondered if instead when on board we can purchase just a day pass for the 2 of us to use the thermal area, or even a pass for part of a day? And is this something we should go and book as a soon as we board?

 

Thank you!

You can buy on board, subject to availability. But it is crazy expensive to buy a day pass on board. About 80 euro for single and 120 for couple. No official price for week pass, have to ask and negotiate. No half day pass or so available. 

 

The Virtuosa Spa is quite nice and they control the crowds good.

Thank you! 

 

Based on those prices it makes more sense for us to get the whole cruise pass in advance then (which is £82 per person anyway) even if we only use it for one day out of the week.

 

Good to know about crowds being controlled. How does that work then? Will we be able to just walk in and use the spa whenever if we have the pass, or do we still need to book specific time slots? 🙂

Mainly they control by not selling anymore day passes. Sometimes no day passes at all are sold at all during the cruise. Also the cruise passes bought in advance are limited. I am not sure if you need to make a reservation for sea days right now, that is still a COVID related topic.

Makes sense. Thanks for your help!
