Finding “Me Time” on the Explora I is quite easy. It is available in many ways -- from a coffee & snack at Crema Café, lounging by the various pools or on the lounge chair found on every balcony.

However, one of most indulgent ways I found was in The Spa. Of course, all the normal services one would imagine are offered with an appointment, but many features are available to all guests.

After signing in, my first stop was the Salt Cave. Breathing became immediately easier as I walked through the door. Resting on the cushioned chair in this heated room, lined with glowing bricks of salt, was both therapeutic and tranquil.

Being an avid reader, I thoroughly enjoyed reading in this quiet, peaceful, and healing room. I eventually made my way to experience some of the other comforts. The Heated Marble Loungers warmed you down to the bone. The Hydrotherapy pool was the most beautiful one I have ever seen.

I peeked into the Experience Showers, but did not go in. My understanding is there are various experiences with aromatherapy and varying temperatures.

The amenities go on: Steam Room, Steam Shower, Finnish Sauna, Ice Fall, Relaxation Room.

This is the perfect place to find the Ocean State of Mind.
