Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed tour of the thermal spa located within the Mandara Spa on the Norwegian Breakaway. They explore various amenities including a body temperature therapy pool with massage jets, heated tile chairs, and padded loungers. The tour covers several heat-based options such as a sanarium, a traditional sauna, an aromatic steam bath, and a salt bath. The creators note that the spa offers a quiet alternative to the crowded main pools on the ship and provides extended operating hours. They also mention that the area is restricted to guests aged 18 and older. While they found the experience relaxing, they clarify that the pass only covers access to the facilities and does not include massages or other treatments. Ultimately, they conclude that the value depends on the cost, suggesting it is worth it if the price is between 100 and 200 dollars, but they advise against purchasing it if staying in the Haven suites since those guests already have access to a private pool area.

Creator's Key Takeaways

we really enjoyed using those highly recommend if you're on this that you go ahead and do that

we would spend probably about 100 to 200 dollars to get access to this anything more than that and we personally don't think it's really worth it

if you're staying in the Haven it's really not worth it The Haven already has a private pool area
