Escape-sauna/steam room question

I have never cruised with Norwegian before and I know on Carnival and Royal guests are able to use both the steam room and sauna for free as they are apart of the gym. On Escape am I able to use the gym, sauna and steam room for free?

On the Escape, and all the newer large ships, gym access is free but the sauna and steam rooms are part of the spa and require a spa pass.

Ok, thank you! I am bummed as I always love sitting in those rooms and enjoying the view

On most NCL ships, including the Escape, the steamrooms and saunas are part of the thermal suites and require a spa pass. Steamrooms are always closed rooms. On the Escape the saunas have outside windows (varies by ship).

Yes the Escape's sauna and steam room are part of the spa and require the pass. However, the spa is exceptional on the NCL newer ships - in addition to the sauna (with a beautiful view) and steam room, there is also a Sanarium, Salt room, a Snow room, Multi-head showers, thelassotherapy pool with multiple jets that work different parts of the body, PLUS . . .heated ceramic loungers and padded loungers with floor to ceiling forward facing views of the ocean. The spa pass is available for purchase online (with a slight discount off the onboard price). Worth it!

In agreement with others, the SPA is well worth it on the Escape. I will definitely book it again next year. I used it a lot more than I expected to and it made the whole cruise a much better experience.

I would bring my nice clothes etc and leave them in the locker. Afterwards, I would use the showers in the locker room, They are huge and wonderful and have shampoo and gel. I would get dressed for the evening there, drop my bag back off at the room and be ready to go. Loved it!

I am going for the next cruise on Jewel. Is sauna/steam room there available for spa pass holders only - like on newer ships as described above ?

I watched your video, looks like you had an amazing time. If you don't mind my asking what excursion you booked to go to the Baths at virgin gorda? I am looking to do that however it seems everywhere I look its pretty expensive. Who did you book through? what was the cost? Thanks!

On the Jewel there is a locker room off the gym that has a shower and steam room in it, no spa pass required. At least in the women's room it did.

Don't be bummed. Treat yourself to a spa pass. You won't be sorry.

I booked through NCL. -- The time in Tortola is very short with all aboard at 2:30 p.m. Virgin Gorda is another island - about a 40/45 min boat ride -- Given the time restriction I felt more comfortable on an NCL sponsored excursion. $85 Adults $61 kids -- Activity level 3 is accurate-- there were some tight places and slick rocks -- you do have to be careful.

Agree!!!! The spa pass on the Escape is a must do!!!!! ❤
