The Baths were nice, but the Dinner Cruise was the highlight!

We enjoyed the thermal bath in the morning, and went on the dinner cruise at 7pm. The Baths were under construction so only part could be enjoyed. The food was good on the boat, but the music, singing, and dancing with the views were the highlight. Fun historic paddlewheel boat to ride in.

Interesting as tour.cultural

I found it interesting to know, but I think it is only true if it is the premium or private experience. There's a lot of people in the bigger pools.

Average experience due to one of main features closed but Tripadvisor and its operator choose not to disclose this

Trip advisor and its operator were fully aware that the main outdoor swimming area was closed for repairs for months, but deliberately choose not to mention this. This outdoor swimming area and the outdoor thermal spa are the Main features, the stream and sauna are average, better ones in most gyms in the UK. Tripadvisor and its operator refused to compensate in any way.
