Review summary

My spa balcony room was lovely, and the included spa ammenities justified the extra cost. We really enjoyed the spa! Overall the ship seemed short staffed, and the ship was very crowded. Ports were fun...absolutely loved home sweet home in Grand Turk. Not my favorite Carnival ship.

I had a couples massage during my trip and got a price discount only because it was a port day. I recommend taking advantage of the port day prices. Also if you book 3 qualifying services online prior to the cruise you will recieve a percentage off. To my knowledge, the spa cabin benefit is priority booking only.

The specifics are dependent on the ship but you get....priority spa appointments, Elemis products in your room, access to a Thalasso pool or whirlpool, access to steam showers, access to thermal suites and the Lanconium,2 free fitness classes, and a body fat analysis(I hope I did not miss anything). the deck was also quiet and peaceful because there are a small amount of rooms on deck 12. I booked a spa balcony room on my upcoming Vista cruise as well!
