Creator's Key Takeaways

I found the other side. I discovered another little thermal retreat.

I'd absolutely love to have one of these at home.

Overall, I was really impressed with these spaces, particularly the thermal suites, which provide a fantastic place to escape and relax at sea.

While there are a few areas that could be improved, such as accessibility and some operational issues we experienced in the Byron Beach Club, these spaces are a great addition to the Carnival Encounter experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stop by the spa on embarkation day for guided tours and to learn about treatments.
Check online or speak to the spa team for information on fitness classes.
