Mercury, Nov. 11, 2005

Going to the Mex Riviera. I have heard that on some ships, when in port the Spa drops their $$ for treatments for those staying on board. Is this true on the Mercury? Also, is there a price list and a detailed list of services for the Spa?

Regarding the excursions, is it better to book in advance or would it be feasible to book when we actually stop at each port. Any help is appreciated.

If there is an excursion that you really want and it might be very popular you should book now as they do fill up. You could save some money and hire someone on shore or check out the port threads for contacts. I have never booked an excursion ahead of time. If I recall correctly I read that they do bill your credit card when you book, not after the cruise.

 

Regarding info on the spa costs, you might want to post a new thread with that as the topic.

 

Good luck and have a great cruise!

They normally have daily specials where they offer reduced prices. If you board early, go directly to the spa. They choose models for the presentation to embarking passengers.

 

Go to the "Ports of Call" board and you will get many suggestions and/or recomendations for excursions. You can usually beat the price that is through the ship. :)
