THERMAL SPA

I pre purchased a cruise length  pass for $179 a $20 reduction than if bought on board

Epics Mandara Spa and Salon is supposed to be the largest spa at sea

A unique feature of Epics Thermal spa is the open area at the aft  with 6 padded loungers and 2 couches which give wonderful views and great  to enjoy in good weather

Inside the communal area are several heated tile loungers although 3 of them had signs on saying cold bed-ie needing maintenance

Plenty of padded loungers and chairs,sauna and steam room with windows to open sea

The therapy pool with hot tubs and pressure jets was always popular

Inside the single sex area is another steam room and sauna with windows to sea which was hardly ever used so a good quiet area

As you hand your keycard over at spa reception they give you a wristband with an allocated locker.SHIP ITSELF

Very large with lots of small capacity areas

No soaring atrium like the smaller ships but mainly 1 storey with a few areas with open ceiling to next level so more of a hotel feel than traditional cruise ship

The weather wasn’t consistently good enough to use the outside areas but when sun was out pool deck very busy .
