Allure of the Sea - Spa Question

[Eliza 0]

Thinking about doing a spa passes for my cousin and I on an upcoming Allure of the Seas 7 day cruise.  Does anyone know exactly what amenities are available in the female and co-ed areas on Allure? I did a pass many moons ago on one of the RCCL ships (I *think* Rhapsody, but many cruises are blending together) and enjoyed the amenities - particularly the moist heat room, Thalassotherapy pool, and heated ceramic loungers.  I know the spa offerings are different on every ship, so wondering if anyone has insight into what exactly the Allure of the Seas spa has (google has not been helpful thus far).  Ta!

As I recall, the thermal spa areas include steam room, hot/dry room and thermal beds.  There may be a couples' massage area.  We never did that and so I am not certain.  Of course, there are men's and women's changing/shower areas that are separate but all of the thermal spa areas are co-ed.

I’ve not seen a Thalassotherapy pool in any Royal spa, at least one included with a spa pass.  I very much enjoyed them on Carnival though.

Now you've gotten me thinking.  There is a small chance that I had the spa pass on Carnival and/or NCL and was misremembering it as on Royal.  I think I'm going to pass on the spa for now, and keep that money for shore excursion and booze when the casino is closed.

You can visit the spa on boarding day which will be open for tours.  The price on board tends to be the same as in advance.  If you like what you see buy the pass on board.

Thanks Twangster - that's officially my new plan!

I wonder why this is? Royal is such a front runner with innovation, however, doesn't provide this option that other lines do. I understand it would be difficult to incorporate into existing ships but the new ones don't offer it either.
