tinaincc Posted October 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hello - first timer on Oceania in February. Question: if I go to the spa and purchase a massage and/or facial does that give me access to the spa patio for the rest of the day? This is what typically happens when you go to a traditional spa, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ORV Posted October 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Not all day access, two hours before or after your treatment. Interesting, what about if you are getting the complimentary treatments that come with the Gold level? I rarely see this discussed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I thought it was 1 hour access before or after a treatment ?? TINAINCC If you are in Concierge or above cabins then you have free access all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinaincc Posted October 26, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thanks all - I am a veranda cabin so I'll likely do the 2 hours after I guess. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must we live in a World where if big brother isn't there to reprimand us, we should chance it? Fathom Do I detect a bit of hypocrisy here ? How much wine do you bring on board? The so-called three bottle limit? Have the wine police stopped you? The two hour limit is no different from the three bottle limit. On paper. Not enforced.

Meant to prevent abuse Sent from my iPhone using Forums I respectfully disagree with your comparison, mostly because the additional wine is purchased at an additional cost to me, whereas the unauthorized use of the Spa is countenancing activity which costs someone else money. Where the buck stops is usually a good barometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also sell a day pass if you want to spend more time there On the bigger ships there is no shade so it is quite hot out there the R ships do have a bit of shade Edited October 26, 2016 by LHT28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every hotel spa that i have ever been to allows you to stay on site all day before and after your treatment and utilize the pool etc, I would expect the same from Oceania but apparently I am wrong. It won't ruin my trip or my day, but I am certainly not going to pay for a day pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitob Posted October 26, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The spa patio is overrated IMO. I certainly wouldn't pay to use it. We usually book a suite and we don't use it. I prefer a shady chair in the pool area. More social and there is food and drink Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we do use it I am there for less than 1 hr so it does not bother me if we have access or not DH does like the T pool There is limited facilities there ..as mentioned there is no food & just bottled water or sodas available some people like the privacy there but it is a personal choice YMMV Edited October 26, 2016 by LHT28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
