Thermal Spa - Prima?

[BlueHawk0172]

My fiancée and I are going on our first cruise this November, a quick 3 day on the Joy to see if she's okay with cruising. Meanwhile we're also planning our honeymoon for October next year and had been looking at a Mediterranean cruise on the Prima or Viva. I've been trying to weigh the pros/cons of a Balcony vs Spa Balcony and as far as I can tell the Spa Balcony just grants you access to the thermal spa, nothing extra? But it also looks like I can just buy the thermal spa cruise pass for less than a Spa Balcony. I know the Spa pass "can" sell out, but does it usually?

-TLDR how quick does the thermal spa pass sell out, if at all?

It basically it is only spa access. And a room near the spa,,, which is under the pool deck which some do not like. Book a regular room. Buy spa passes. You can cancel the spa up to the week of cruise if you change your mind.

Definitely weigh out the cost differences. We booked our cruise this summer on the Prima when it was more advantageous for us to book a spa balcony room.  If you book a regular balcony room, you will have the option to purchase a spa pass before your cruise, which is what we have done.

Thanks for the responses, that really helps! I was under the impression I couldn't book the spa pass until we were ON the ship and was worried they would sell out.
