RCCL Salon Appts can be made in advance of sailing!

Hi ladies!

 

I did this for myself, in Oct 2005, when I had to change my salon appt time, on the Vision, that RR/TWE made ridiculously close to the ceremony time.

 

Now my friend, Kelly, is getting married on the Voyager in a few months and we were chatting about making salon appointments for hair/makeup/nails/etc.

 

She is planning on going thru the TA to set up the hair and makeup appt in the salon. I thought "let me see...." and decide to send an email to the salon people whom helped me before. I asked them if they could set up our appointments on the Voyager prior to sailing. I just got an email back from them and they said "absolutely, no problem!" and asked for our sailing information.

 

The company whom contracts with Royal Caribbean for (it seems) all of their shipboard salons is called Time To Spa.

 

Their website is http://www.timetospa.com

 

I simply sent an email, from their contacts list on the website, to customerservice@timetospa.com

 

here is the reply I got:

 

Dear Stacey,

 

We will be happy to do this for you. Please provide the following

information and we will pass it on to the spa manager:

 

Vessel Name

Date of embarkation

Guest names and cabin number

Appointment dates and times

Type of service required (for example blow -dry, upstyle, roller set

etc.)

 

Kind Regards,

 

So, for all of you sailing on RCCL and working with RR/TWE, if you need to contact the spa directly, there is the info.

 

For the rest of you whom are having independent island weddings, but still need a salon appt, there is the contact info.

 

I think the salon prices are actually cheaper than the RR/TWE prices, so you might want to skip the RR/TWE arranged appt in favor of making your own appt.

 

I hope this helps make someones life a little easier during this stressful time!

Holy cow, You rock!!

 

I am getting married in 60 days and was nervous about this. GREAT information!

 

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....

I hope the information helps people. At the very least, it may give people the peace of mind knowing that, should something go amiss and they need to contact the spa, prior to sailing, the spa people are very happy to work with you.

Hi SAS80,

 

I just wanted to let you know I was able to book 5 appointments and I received a confirmation from the Spa's manager aboard the Adventure of the Sea!

 

Thanks so much for this information. It was incredibly helpful!

Do you LOVE it or what???!!!

 

Do "us" a favor, please! Can you ask the spa manager how much for a single appointment for an up do and post that information along with what TWE would charge if they arranged it, please?

 

Also, did you just book hair, or did you get makeup and/or nail appointments too?

 

Thanks!

I tried contacting them and never heard any response, so I am not sure they still do this. Anyone else have an experience recently with this site? Any other suggestions for making an appointment?

Hi PMO,

 

I sent her an email last week and here is the trail. I did send another email to see if I could find out prices, but they confirmed my appointments.

 

Thanks,

Colleen.

Hi Nicky,

 

I am booking 3 appointments for Tuesday, April 15th on the Adventure of

the Sea.

 

The first, is my own. I am the bride. I want to schedule an

appointment for to get a manicure and to get my hair done. I would want

the manicure first, I think. I am thinking 10:30. My room number is

8614, my name is Colleen Wells

 

The second appointment is for Jennifer Heitz. She is my maid of honor.

She also wants a manicure and her hair done. Her room number is 6119.

I am thinking the same times if at all possible.

 

The third appointment is for Angela Silva. She is my sister-in-law to

be. She just wants her hair done. I am thinking around noon for her,

if that works. Her room number is 6119.

 

Thanks so much for your help.

 

Colleen

Thank you so very much. This information will really help make my daughter feel much more relaxed, as you can understand.

I did finally get a response from Nicky. An updo is $49.00. I was able to confirm nail appointments as well and the prices are:

 

Nails appointments - full manicure (exotic hand ritual) is $45

just french manicure polish is $35

 

I am not exactly sure what an "exotic hand ritual" is, but sounds fantastic!

 

Hope this helps.

Royal Romance charge:

 

Shipboard Salon Shampoo and Blow-Dry or Hair Up Style

- $65 USD (1/2 hour)

 

And they dont offer the option of booking for nails.

To be completely fair, I added a 20% tip onto the $49 up do cost and came up with a total of $59 if you book thru the ship directly.

 

Still cheaper than Royal Rip-off :D
