Safeteeguy Posted May 26, 2005 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2005 What are the costs of the spa packages and are they worth their expense? We'll be sailing on the Conquest and read up on the amenities, which all look good, but no mention of price. Part of our planning includes hitting the spa. Can we go anytime while on board or should we make reservations? I hear of the infamous "foofoo" beverages. Which are the best, or do we simply request foofoo? Almost time to bonvoyage!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safeteeguy Posted May 26, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Thanks for the quick and thorough reply. Prices don't seem that bad really. Is it recommended that we book this early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBoo Posted May 26, 2005 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Word has it that you need to book early, preferably as soon as you board. Also be prepared for a big sales pitch. Just read another thread today that someone purchased $1500 "worth" of products:eek: :eek: :eek:. I'm afraid I'd be hitchhiking home. Other posters have been booking at resorts at ports of call for much less than onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretty1111 Posted May 26, 2005 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2005 In my experience, the services usually run about $10 - $20 more than I would pay at home, depending where. Here I can get a massage for anywhere from $55 to $95 for an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailinglisa Posted May 26, 2005 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2005 You have to make reservations - walk ups are not accepted. Appointments (especially for up-do's on formal nights and some massage treatments) book up fast, so be prepared and have a couple of different day and times in mind for your treatment(s).

Nonesuch Posted May 26, 2005 #7 Share Posted May 26, 2005 What are the costs of the spa packages and are they worth their expense? We'll be sailing on the Conquest and read up on the amenities, which all look good, but no mention of price. Part of our planning includes hitting the spa. Can we go anytime while on board or should we make reservations? The $$$ spa services require a reservation. The steam room and sauna are free, separate facilities for men/women. There's also a hot tub (usually empty, not that hot) and this strange pool where you can swim in place. I hear of the infamous "foofoo" beverages. Which are the best, or do we simply request foofoo? You can ask for the "drink of the day", the specific beverage is listed in Capers. With the souvenir cup it costs extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlanting Posted May 27, 2005 #10 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Thanks ..... One more, Do they add tips to the pricing of the massage rates or do you tip cash on your own. and if so what kind of a tip do you give?? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipping is not included in the price of your spa treatments. You can add the tip onto your Sail and Sign card. A tip of 15% is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering if it was done at the same time together or what? Thanks Randy The couples massage is over $200...just a word of warning. Those spa prices that have been posted are WAY outdated. They Everything is expensive expensive expensive with a hard sell at the end. Hubby was sweet and bought me the foot and ankle massage for $40...so I trot up there...sit down in the hair styling place, she 'massages' my feet and ankles for about thirty minutes, jabbers to people walking by, answers questions of people walking by, applies some lotion, tries to sell me the $60 bottle of lotion and then I am on my merry way. I didn't have the heart to tell him that it was not worth it...but I'll tell everyone here. Hope you have a great time! Stef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can double some of the treatment prices, some of them aren't offered at all, there are a LOT of new treatments with big dollar tags, and some are about the same price. I wish I could remember. I wish I had a price list...I just know they kept sticking 'specials' in my box. That is the way to go, especially towards the end of the cruise. What hubby paid for my 'foot massage', I could have gotten a 'mini cocktail' of three treatments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destinydog Posted May 27, 2005 #16 Share Posted May 27, 2005 jsut got off the miracle on 5/22 wife and friedn went to spa for two treatments seaweed wrap/half body message and regualr full body massage. the seaweed wrap/half body massage was 200.00 with tip included, or the seaweed/fullbody was about 240.00 i beleive, they said it was nice, however not the best. this was also for a day at sea so prices were a little higher. Then on a port day they did the full body massage for like 80.00 they claimed this was the best massage they had ever had, and both of them attend the spa a few times a year for massages.. So for them they say it was money well spent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted May 27, 2005 #17 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Frozen foo- foo drinks in the sovernier cup will cost you 4.95 plus 15% gratuity. (14oz) If this is what you will be drinking- I suggest the carnival drink coupons that you buy off their web site before you leave. (you can not buy these on the ship. It only saves about 50 cents but it prepays your bar bill. If you just want a regular drink of the day (8oz) its 2.95 plus gratutiy. My favorite is Dirty banana- it tastes like a frozen choc banana, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before any of the services start tell them you dont want any of their products and you dont want to hear a sales pitch after the treatment is over. You can also mention that any tips will be based on their compliance with your wishes :) It works everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the sovernier cup you will buy the first day and use the same cup all week for a refill. The drink itself is 4.95 as long as you use the same glass.
