Visionseer1 Posted June 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2023 We purchased the Thermal Suite Pass for our trip. I am wondering if it is a swipe and go in type of thing? I hate bringing extra anything with me. Is it a bracelet or a lanyard that gets you into the thermal suite? Is it manned by a person dedicated to helping or letting you in? Thank you!

Rare OrcaGirl Posted June 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Last time I sailed on the Bliss with the thermal suite pass, we got a sticker put on our sail card the first day; each visit, we dropped off our card at the front desk and then they waved us in. We picked up our card again on the way out. On the Epic we had to actually sign in; and on the Encore I think they didn't make us leave the card, they just waved in everyone who showed up in robes. 🤣 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was early 2020, the sailing that wasn't permitted to disembark in San Juan, so we ended up getting 2.5 extra days at sea and in the thermal suite. But I know prices have gone up considerably since then. I didn't book the thermal suite on the Bliss for my cruise leaving today because the price had doubled compared to our last cruise in 2022.

Rare DrUrsula Posted June 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Your first visit they will put a sticker on your card. You sign in at the reception desk and they keep your seapass while you are in the facility. Easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindyhere Posted June 17, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I was told the thermal spa will be $299 for the week on the Bliss next May. I remember when it was first on the Dawn and it was free ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could take another cruise for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us, it is worth every penny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyn874 Posted June 18, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Is the thermal spa open 24/7? I'm an early riser and sometimes I might get up at 6-7am. It would be nice to go to the spa with my coffee and a book in the early mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It's open from sail away to 10 PM on the first day, then 8 AM - 10 PM, except the last evening when it closes at 8 AM. At least those were the hours on Getaway when we sailed (last sailing was 12/31/22). On 6/17/2023 at 8:33 AM, DrUrsula said: Your first visit they will put a sticker on your card.

On Getaway, at least in April, Sept., and Dec/Jan of the last year they just looked at the room key to ensure the sticker was on there. We kept the room key with us throughout our thermal'ing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Laszlo Posted June 19, 2023 #11 Share Posted June 19, 2023 On our Getaway cruise in January our cabin card said "Spa" on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were in one of the Spa Suites, right? We were blessed to be in an aft suite, so had to purchase the thermal suite. I guess that's the difference. You'd think they would print it on the card as we did pre-purchase this option. Interesting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting! You are correct we had a Spa Suite. In theory everyone who buys the thermal pass within a week of sailing should have Spa printed on the card, at least that is what they told me in the Spa. We had a Haven Spa cabin, our friends down the hall had a balcony spa cabin and nothing was on their cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On all three of our Getaway cruises we purchased the thermal suite immediately. For Sept. and Dec. that was about three - four weeks prior to the cruise. Our April cruise was about two months. Wonder why we didn't get it printed on our cards. Seems it would be easier...but we always make a venture to the spa to enter our names in that embarkation day gift certificate drawing (not that we've won). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
