RalphWiggum Posted April 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I have an upcoming TA on QM2 and was wondering if the thermal spa still has the policy Cunard adopted (presumably for Covid reasons) where you have to reserve a specific block of time with the thermal spa pass. I seldom stay longer than two hours, so that’s not the issue, but having to plan ahead really negates the benefits of the spa pass for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldBear Posted April 13, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) The two hour policy was abandoned last November, on the Norway leg of our last sailing. The policy reverted to the previous 'as long as you want, with multiple entries allowed' policy. Unlike previous years, the men's side lockers did not have a supply of disposable razors & shaving cream - perhaps that will revert too. (Now if they would just fix the shower drains....] Edited April 13, 2023 by TheOldBear more detail 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SireDoime Posted April 14, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Hmm? While booking my cruise on Queen Elizabeth (QE) they had two hour blocks per reservation (35$ each reservation). I had a full/unlimited Spa pass NCL Bliss, I didn't find anything similar for QE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady of the Nile Posted April 16, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Hi there, can anyone answer this question, years ago when we went on the QM, if we had a treatment in the Spa, that enabled you to use the Spa for a day without having a pass. Maybe its wishful thinking that still happens. I feel nickel and dimed here a little bit. Yes we have obc as World Club, and 45 minutes of WIFI which I don't want, but I was told, that I can't cash it in for anything else. Thanks for any advice. Going on QV in August round Briitish Isles, but not much information on that i.e. Lido Evening Restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to buy the full pass on board. That's what I did in June. I remember doing that right away because they were selling fewer passes than usual due to Covid, so I wanted to make sure I got one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is under the QM2 section but there's no similar wording for QV/QE - A Spa Passport is complimentary on the day of any Health & Wellness, Massage, Body or Skin Care treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady of the Nile Posted April 23, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Hi Host Hattie Thanks for your reply, so do I understand that the complimentary passport is only on QM2 or on both QE and QV its all getting a little confusing. Perhaps I'll just wait till on board then all will be revealed. Regards Arlette (Lady of the Nile) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryEssex Posted May 20, 2023 #8 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Jumping in. When I went on QM2 I got hold of a crossing pass that let me into the spa every day of the cruise. Think that cost $99 maybe less. Do they still offer this?? Would love the freedom to just be able to go in when we wanted too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t get free internet minutes just a sum to put towards the 24 hour or voyage packages. Similarly I have not had OBC as part of World Club just when it was offered with fare.

On the other hand on this fall's 26 night sailing, we each got a 6 day spa pass, and used three days each on the eastbound and westbound crossings. We felt that offered us the best value [not the same as cost per day]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle on board Posted June 2, 2023 #15 Share Posted June 2, 2023 For an upcoming sailing on QE My Cunard is showing options to purchase 2 hour slots. Is it likely that there will be an option to purchase a multi-day pass once onboard? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I purchased three 2 hour passes to the The Aqua Therapy Center (35$ each); I do not actually recall an option for multiday passes. I think the last time I called Cunard, I was told during the conversation that a multiday pass would be available once onboard, I think. I was calling for something else, so I would have to call back to re-confirm that. Edited June 3, 2023 by SireDoime more words 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Mary 2's Spa Passport This pass includes the use of the Aqua Therapy Centre, which comprises a whirlpool, aqua therapy pool with chaise lounge, neck and back jet massage, cascading waterfall shower, reflexology basins, sensory showers, Finnish sauna, aromatic steam room, herbal sauna, and ice fountain.

patty3 Posted July 16, 2023 #21 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) We are on the crossing that leaves Brooklyn on August 18th and includes Norway and return. We booked as one voyage for 24 nights. If I buy a three day pass, can the days be spread throughout the 24 night voyage, even though the voyage could be booked as four segments? I am assuming that it is cheaper to purchase prior to sailing. Edited July 16, 2023 by patty3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldBear Posted July 16, 2023 #22 Share Posted July 16, 2023 You should be able to spread them out. For our 26 night 'Norway and Northern Lights' sailing, we used six day passes, as three days on the eastbound crossing, one day on the Norway trip & the last two on the westbound crossing. During the Norway cruise, there was a transition from the '2 hour window' back to anytime for the day, with multiple entries if you wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, passes are not available to book prior to your voyage." So, it appears passes aren't available prior to sailing. You can book treatments, however. Would love to hear how the pass process goes after your voyage! I hope you'll update us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dining reservations closer to sailing, maybe 2 weeks out. Excursions, I'm not sure. I think some showed up right away. Maybe they update as they finalize them. My Cunard states the spa passes aren't bookable in advance. It's posted under the "Which spa services and treatments are available during my Cunard voyage?" Q&A. They also have their spa price lists linked there. You've got some time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
