Creator's Key Takeaways
there's no charge to come in here. But if you don't have a treatment, you can uh come in from 8:00 to 10:00 in the morning or 6:30 to 10 uh 6:30 to 10 or sorry, 6:30 to 8 at night.
there's no charge here, so that's a real plus.
I love those. You usually turn them on and you kind of put your head underneath or or your back or your shoulders and you give yourself a nice little massage.
the nice part is on Explore, you don't have to pay 5 cents. So, that's a real nice perk when you're on these small ship luxury lines.
