Canyon Ranch question

[Mango Mike]

Well, it's that time of year again when I need to think of what to to get my lovely wife for Christmas. Aha, I've got it - a massage or two at the Canyon Ranch SpaClub on our upcoming cruise.

 

As you can see from my signature, we've been on a couple RCCL cruises and my wife has been to their spas for massages a few times but gets annoyed with the sales pitches. A little here and there, meh, okay - but hard sells - no thank you.

 

My question is, during the massage, does the masseuse try to pressure sell their lotions, etc and/or additional treatments?

Most don't compared to former spa stafff..As for product,.I let them know I prefer my usual brand (from the prior spa) and get them cheaper on line...they do rec services but I usually book 2 per cruise (facial & massage)and let them know I am fully booked up....

 

They also offer same type of port specials...check time ship is in port....

If he/she does, simply say, "Thanks, but I'm just here for the massage"...they'll stop the sales pitch.

This is very helpful info, thank you. My last cruise was RCCI Allure and I was pressured hard after the massage to buy product.. Not very relaxing in my opinion.

We visited the spa while on the Reflection in October and didn't encounter any sales pressure. As we were paying they did mention a promotion they currently had on another service, but they didn't try to sell us any products.
