The changing rooms also have complimentary fluffy robes for your use while in the thermal suite. As you pass into the thermal suite, there is a service station with fresh towels, infused fruit water, hot water, and various teas to enjoy. The air is slightly humid but not hot or damp.

This was something that we were a bit worried about at first because onboard spas are notorious for the upsell, and we did not want to be bombarded with offers every time we entered the suite. We think it is important to mention that at no point during the cruise did anyone in the spa try to upsell us on any other spa offerings or products. We are on a cruise ship, how could it be bad? We found that the staff were very friendly and made an effort to remember our names and ask how our day was going. We highly recommend that you purchase a pass for at least one day to enjoy this beautiful facility it is a great value for a relaxing day.Įach time you want to visit the Thermal Suite on Norwegian Escape, you simply hand your cruise card to one of the very helpful spa employees, and they give you a special card to access the suite.

We wondered if we would use the facility enough to justify a little over $31 per day… by the end of the cruise, the answer was a definitive YES. Why did I use the word ‘invest’? Well, the Thermal Suite on Norwegian Escape is not cheap, and we did get a little ‘sticker shock’ upon learning the cost for the 7 day unlimited pass was $219 per person. We stepped through the door into the thermal suite and were immediately ‘sold’! It is a beautiful facility and a true haven from the hustle and bustle of other areas on this ultra-modern cruise ship. We had read positive things about the Thermal Suite on Norwegian Escape and shortly after boarding decided to take a tour of the facilities.
