All of the ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet have a Senses Spa. In the past few months I have visited the spa on both the Dream and the Magic and thought I’d share more details. The experience on both ships was nearly identical, and this would be true for the Fantasy and Magic as well.
Your Disney Cruise spa visit is really much like any other – check in, tour the locker rooms, get situated in robes and flip flops, and head into the relaxation room. The locker rooms are separated for men and women, while the relaxation room is co-ed, and there are small steam room areas in each locker room.
The relaxation room is tiny and not the experience you may be used to with snacks, food and beverage, and a variety of seating and lounging options. This isn’t one where you would go an hour early to enjoy the space.
Every service I’ve had at Senses Spa has been wonderful, but there is definitely a push to upsell and add on. I don’t love that aspect.
If you do go…
- The Senses Spa & Salon is reserved for Guests 18 years of age and older.
- The Rainforest Room is not included in spa services and a pass for that must be purchased separately. If you have a spa treatment, I do recommend purchasing the Rainforest Room pass as well.
- Spa services are not included with the price of your cruise. Gratuity will be added automatically to your bill.
- Reservations for the spa should be made online in advance.
Rainforest Room on Disney Cruise Line
Now, while I don’t have a rave review of the Senses Spa itself, I DO absolutely positively love the Rainforest Room. I recommend adding on a length of cruise or day pass, depending on how often you would use it.
You will be escorted to the locker room for a robe and flip flops and to store your belongings. The Rainforest Room is co-ed and swimsuits are required. Bring a book along too.
Start your experience by rotating through the saunas and showers. Spend about 10 – 15 minutes in a sauna and then hop into a shower for a variety of unique options. Let each one run its course but be prepared for some chilly water now and again. Use your scrub before entering the steam bath.
Next, head out onto the private deck overlooking the water for zero gravity heated loungers and two hot tubs. This is where you’ll need that book. Or just have a nap like Honey does.
If you go (and you should)…
- Allow at least two hours to enjoy the full experience.
- Infused water and towels are provided, as are lockers, robes, sandals and access to the showers.
- Keep in mind that sea days will be significantly more crowded than port days.
