TexasCruiser84 Posted September 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Just off the Escape and absolutely loved the Thermal Spa. Does the Mandara Spa on Joy have a thermal spa like Escape? If not, is there a basic steam room/sauna available onboard? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted September 11, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I looked at the deck plans and cannot find one on Joy. I can find the spa, but no indication that the Thermal suite exists. I find that to be strange, hopefully someone will correct me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFMOM Posted September 11, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Good to know. Love the thermal suite, so there will be no Joy for me. Not when I can book one of the other ships with one. Mary Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted September 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) No thermal suite.. Only spa rooms for services. I'm literally shocked to learn this about Joy. Was just about to book a Mexican Rivera cruise on Joy for next November. I thought Joy and Bliss were sister ships. (I'm fairly new to NCL so I may have the sister ships confused.) Why would NCL build a newer ship with no thermal suite? especially when older ships have them...so disappointed. Now I understand why I didn't see any spa staterooms like the Haven Spa Suite or spa mini-suite.

During the refit, they will expand the spa area for treatments, but don't have the capability of dropping in an entire thermal suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy241950 Posted October 30, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I just booked the Joy for the Panama Canal next October. It looks like they added the Mandarin Spa and everything else the Bliss has. I was on the Bliss Alaska Cruise this September. Loved, loved, loved the Spa.

Teacherloves2Cruise Posted February 13, 2019 #14 Share Posted February 13, 2019 We know there will be a spa for treatments. Will they have lockers and single gender sauna and steam like the older ships did? Or nothing at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHKBCrusin Posted May 13, 2019 #15 Share Posted May 13, 2019 We have had some people tell us there is a thermal suite and others tell us there isn't ... like others commenting here, we are not interested in it if there is no "real" thermal suite like on the other Breakaway Class and above ships.

Was just on the Joy, no thermal suite. There is a steam room and a sauna that spa customers may access on the day of their service, and I was told it must be a “signature service” which is denoted by an asterisk type symbol on the spa menu.

Thanks for the info ... I've seen some facebook posts saying otherwise but good to hear from someone who has actually been on her. No Joy for us then. We only cruise on the smaller ships if the itinerary is irresistible because of the lack of the full thermal suites. Since the Joy won't be making any trips we can't get on the others there is no longer a question about cruising with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
