Getaway Spa Question...

 

Sailing on the Getaway next month...

 

Looking for input from someone who has recently sailed the Getaway...

 

Do you remember the Spa offering any specials for a couples massage?...

 

What was the price?...

 

Thanks...

We waited and waited on our February Getaway and there were no specials on couples massages. I don't think there were specials on any massages.

 

 

 

Boo!

 

 

 

Fingers crossed that there will be on our September 6th cruise.

 

 

Please share after your cruise of their are specials!

Thanks for the replies so far...

 

I went through all of the Getaway dallies I could find and couldn't find any information on spa specials...

 

I did find a price list from the spa that said the normal price for a 50 minute couples message is $269...

 

Most ships have some sort of sale, usually while in port...

 

Still hoping to here from someone who's been onboard and seen some specials...

What about the fitness center?

That is a separate area.

 

You have free access to the gym.

 

All the fitness equipment if free of charge.

 

Some classes you have to pay for others you don't.

How was your cruise? Any spa specials? Any other fun tips we leave in 2weeks.

Just got back from the Getaway...

 

Wanted to follow-up on my original post and let everyone know what we found out...

 

We went to the Madara Spa on the first day before leaving port and asked about pricing for the couples massage...

 

We were told the standard price for a 50 minute couples massage is $269 in the couples room...

 

If we made our reservation on embarkation day we would receive 75 minutes for the price of 50 minutes ($269)...

 

And if we booked the couples massage for a shore day we would receive a 10% discount ($242)...

 

They also told us they would tack on a mandatory 18% service charge/gratuity...

 

We couldn't talk them down to a more reasonable price so we decided to pass on the spa services...

 

As a personal observation:

This is something I noticed a number of times on this ship... Many things were over priced and therefore many people did not purchase them... If Norwegian would lower the price a little they would sell a lot more of them and make more money in the end...

The couples massage is a prefect example... We were looking for a price under $200... The lowest we could get Norwegian to go was $242... So Norwegian lost $199 over a $43 difference in price... And I know they would have sold numerous massages at that price... Doesn't make sense...

 

So there you have it...

 

Hope it helps...
