Creator's Key Takeaways

We are going to the thermal suite and spa for the day. One that does not involve getting off the ship.

I really enjoyed how they had a bunch of different rooms to try. They had an aromatic room, they had a charcoal room, salt room, cold room, a couple different types of saunas, the thermal chairs, and also the hot tubs.

I would recommend getting the 1day package where it was $99 where I believe the 7 days was 3.29, which would equate to about 3 1/2 days at the spa.

The vocals, some of those I don't know if anybody watching knows a lot of Prince songs, but some of his songs are really hard to sing and they nailed it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get the 1-day spa package for $99 instead of the 7-day package.
Visit the spa on a port day when you're not too enthusiastic to visit the port.
Bring cash tips for Norwegian crew to ensure servers receive the money directly.
