Dennislee2 Posted January 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hello ladies, Not being sexist I guess the guys can answer too. :D I was wanting to surprise my wife with a massage and pedicure on our next cruise, which is our 25th wedding anniversary. So, since it's a surprise, I didn't want to ask her. But which day is best to pre-purchase/schedule the 2 treatments? We leave on a Saturday and I was thinking that our first full day at sea would be best. My thought was she would start the vacation relaxed, stress free. It's an 8 day cruise with 3 port days. What do you ladies think? Do you prefer 1st day treatments or midway through, maybe the last day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEXIpoo Posted January 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If I were scheduling it for myself I would do it for the last sea day but honestly I think it's the thought that counts in this instance! I would be appreciative of whatever date/time you picked Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesh Posted January 11, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2016 That is sweet! I would go with the first Sea Day. It's a nice way to kick off the vacation and you won't have to worry about her booking those services for herself before you can surprise her with them.

Club Disney Chandler Posted January 11, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'd do the 1st sea day, my cruise massages are always at the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdjl Posted January 11, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I would also vote for first sea day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trbtweety Posted January 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I vote for last sea day. After all the walking in ports and all the fun, it would be nice to have a spa day before leaving to come home. Btw she is lucky to have such a thoughtful husband.

riclop Posted January 12, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The later the cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmativeDame Posted January 12, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I would do the first sea day, unless she is the type to have one done before the trip. (Especially if you are doing a winter cruise.) I would be delighted if DH did something like this for me, but if he did it the last day I would be slightly disappointed that I would have less time to "show off" my cruise toes. You know your wife and her habits, but I would throw that out there. Maybe split them up to? Could always do one on the 1st and another on the last day...

Dennislee2 Posted January 12, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks for the suggestions and reasoning. She rarely spends money on herself and wouldn't ever book a massage or pedicures. She enjoys both, but feels the money could be spent paying bills or something, but I feel vacation is about us and we have to relax and enjoy. We are going in July and just had a thought that I might get her a pedicure the day or two before we leave, so then she can show off the toes on the cruise. Then a massage early in the cruise and see if they offer specials towards the end. Thanks again for the ideas and suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesh Posted January 12, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 12, 2016 That's a great idea Dennis! I'm sure she will be thrilled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckhappy Posted January 12, 2016 #11 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We did a couples message the first night or second night and loved it. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladygal4.4 Posted January 12, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I think it's a lovely idea. I personally would love it any time, and the first sea day is great! My only thought is....will she get a mani/pedi right before the cruise??? Some women do. If so, then book it at the end. If not, day 1 is perfect Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
