Pearl Spa pass

[Yoopermoose]

I read a new review about the Norwegian Pearl where somebody had purchased a spa pass and their two teens contracted fungal infections after two days of using the spa. Has anybody else had any negative experiences with the Pearl’s spa!? I bought a pass for my cruise in June but now I’m not sure that I want it!

If there was an issue with fungal spores it's likely they caught it from someone on the same sailing. I would assume by now it's been taken care of, otherwise you'd hear about it happening to more than two teens from the same family. Maybe they caught it elsewhere as well.

We practice the same hygiene as in the gym locker room at home ... shower shoes everywhere, always sit on a towel in sauna, etc., do not go in “wet rooms” with cuts, etc., always shower, and never leave in wet clothes. Knock on wood, but no fungi. The spa is clean ... it’s the shipmates who are funky monkeys :)

Since teens are not allowed to purchase a "spa pass" I don't see how this could be true.

Under 18's aren't allowed in the spa. They probably picked up something in a hot tub.... :eek:

Or on a shore excursion. I caught a yeast rash from dirty saddle pads in Jamaica during a cruise in 2002 when I was 17.

By “teens” maybe they meant 18 or 19? I’m not sure. But thanks for the advice! I’ll be sure to take extra precautions and I’m glad to hear this isn’t a common occurrence.

If you don't want the spa pass you can always cancel the purchase.

 

Logic however says that if the infection came from the spa, that a lot more than two people would have it. It is really hard to figure out where you contract any given ailment, because we are all moving, and you can get anything from anywhere.
