Escape Thermal Suite Vs Bliss Thermal Suite

Hi, We were on Escape in Aft Haven Suite in Nov 2017 and we also bought the Thermal Suite passes. We loved both Haven & Thermal Suite.

We are considering a cruise on the Encore in 2020 in Haven. This time we want to be closer to the Haven and the SPA suites & thermal suite on Encore are not close to Haven. So we might just purchase the Thermal Suite online when it becomes available.

On another post someone said they think Encore will be similar to the Bliss. They said the Bliss Thermal Suite is smaller and not as nice as the Escape Thermal Suite.

Can anyone that has experienced both please give more details? Do you have any pictures.

Thank you

Escape, Bliss, and Encore are all Breakway-Plus class ships. BUT, the escape has a lot more passengers. The Bliss and Encore have used some of the cabin space for public spaces like the Observarion Lounge. Fewer people, smaller spa. Fewer loungers. Fewer hot stone loungers.

With the observation lounge in the front, they moved the spa to the back of the ship which is in a physically smaller foot print. Views forward with wraparound on the Escape mixer.

All three have the same facilities. Steam room, dry sauna, wet sauna, salt bath, snow room, hydro therapy pool.

The Escape is nice because the saunas are on the outside with windows outside. Breakaway, Getaway, Bliss, and Encore (assumed) are all inside with no views.
