Creator's Key Takeaways

It's my favorite part of the whole cruise ship to be very honest with you. Feels really great to be able to use the therapy pool.

The one thing I would say is the sauna, the cold plunge, and the steam room were almost entirely self-managed, and I didn't see anyone from NCL coming in to clean up frequently.

The one area that I think was a major letdown was in terms of maintenance. A flickering flashing light in the main therapy pool was a really big distraction from the relaxation environment.

I would ultimately purchase the spa package again. And I think that the spa itself uh in Norwegian crew lines cruise lines is a very nice add-on and it's a great way to separate yourself from the chaos of the normal cruise ship and to relax.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider if you really need the spa package for hot tub access, as regular hot tubs may not be crowded.
Report maintenance issues to staff promptly, as they may fix them.
The therapy pool and heated beds are great value if you enjoy those features.

Is the NCL Jade Mandara Spa & Thermal Suite pass worth the extra cost? We got exclusive access to give you a complete, in-depth tour of the entire spa and fitness center on the Norwegian Jade (upgraded in 2022) to help you decide! I purchased the full 6-day pass for this cruise (I paid $169 pre-cruise) and have a LOT of thoughts. This video is the full, comprehensive tour so you can see every single feature for yourself, from my favorite parts (that therapy pool!) to the disappointing ones (broken heated beds and that flickering light... 😠). Is this upcharge right for you, or should you skip it? Let's take a look. ✨ What We Show You: The Co-Ed Thermal Suite: The main relaxation area with stunning sunset views, the powerful hydrotherapy pool, a snack/water bar, and the (unfortunately broken) heated tile loungers. Gender-Specific Areas: A tour of the men's side (which is a mirror image of the women's), including a private hot tub, relaxation chairs, and full locker/shower facilities. Hydrotherapy Circuit: See the hot sauna, aromatic steam room, and the exhilarating cold plunge pool. I loved going from the hot sauna straight into the cold plunge! Pulse Fitness Center: A full, complimentary gym with weights, treadmills, and an aerobics studio. Mandara Salon: A quick look at the salon where you can get hair, nails, and other beauty treatments. After seeing this full tour, what do you think? Would you book the spa pass on your NCL cruise? Let me know in the comments!
