Default Azura - Adults only pool - question

Not sure if anyone will know the answer to this, but I read that The Retreat will be adults only, but is this the same as the Spa which you have to pay for?

It looks to me that if you take a Spa package at some vast sum, you get to use a pool and that area and nobody else can?

If that is so, then is there anywhere that is adults only for swimming?

Hi Jean

You have to pay for The Retreat on a half day basis and this includes a lounger, waiter service for drinks and food etc. There are also private cabanas were you can have spa treatments done. This is one deck up from the Spa at the front and is seperate. There is the Oasis pool which has a an 'endless' swimming feature. This is the adults only pool and can be used by anyone, nit ust those using the Spa or Retreat.

If you get a Spa Stateroom package you get a certain number of 'free' passes to The Retreat.

I hope this helps.

Eddie

Eddie,
Not sure that Azura will have the "endless" bit in the pool, think this will be just a normal pool for adults, without the current.!!

thank you for that. I couldn't find that information anywhere. The Oasis pool sounds fine, but it does look as though it is part of the Spa package.

If the spa area is anything like Ventura's then it is rubbish. We booked our spa day and were shown around before using the facilities. We were told to aclimatize our bodies first by going into one of the two jacuzzi's by the endless pool. The problem is these are available to all guests and there just wasn't any room despite us waiting for ages. In the end we gave up and went into the spa area where we then had to queue to get in the various steam rooms. Eventually I got a turn on the heated beds, bliss I thought. Actually NO, they have put the basket ball court above and all you can hear is thump thump thump. Was I feeling relaxed? no I was furious. A stong word of complaint got us our money back.
