sjmbruce Posted April 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I am thinking about having a pedicure done on my cruise. I know it might be more money than on land but I am fine with that. I am wondering if it is a quality treatment with good results. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgidawgga Posted April 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I just booked one on the Majestic in 2 weeks, so I am interested in feedback also. Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted April 22, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2017 My wife went a few years ago. The girl tried to sell her over $200. Worth of Products. Don't be afraid to just say NO THANK YOU!!! You may have to say it 50 times before they stop. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccastner Posted April 22, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2017 They used gel on my toes and my pedicurist at home had a difficult time getting it off and ended up having to use an emery board. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to say it 50 times before they stop.Tony What does a pedicure cost... $100? If so, and my (ex)-wife had been susceptible to high pressure sales tactics, I would have told her - "That's $30 per toe... get out the novocaine... I'm going to amputate". ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Yoda Posted April 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Basic pedicure $41 (port day) 45 minutes. I (male) always get one, usually Sole Delight - 55 min $59 (port day). Not unreasonably more than shoreside (I usually pay ~$50 for a premium pedicure shoreside). Often you can get Spa Specials for less. This is what OBC is for! And yeah, just say "Not Interested" - the techs get perks for sales.. They do not work for Princess, they work for Steiner who contracts for Princess and others.

Lyss00 Posted April 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Yes! We got a pedicure on our cruise three years ago. I was happy with the quality! Don't remember any pushy sale tactics either. Rather expensive tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomelessBear Posted April 22, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I had a pedicure on board couple of years ago. She was not very experienced and cut my toe among other things. It wasn't a relaxing experience at all and so I don't bother with the spa now. I go to a salon I trust at home instead. As folks have said, it's also usually more expensive than at home. Just my experience and thoughts. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jeter02 Posted April 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I've gotten them a few times onboard. Soooo relaxing, and they do a fabulous job. Well worth the extra treat, to make you feel extra special on your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west coast cruiser Posted April 22, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I am thinking about having a pedicure done on my cruise. I know it might be more money than on land but I am fine with that. I am wondering if it is a quality treatment with good results. Thanks! I used to get them on the ship all the time. Now I get one at home before I leave on my cruise. The one at my place at home is just as good as the ship's and much less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabySarge Posted April 22, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I get a manicure and pedicure every two weeks at home and for gel polish French manicure on fingers and regular polish on toes I pay $55 USD. For the exact same thing on Princess my last one on Coral Princess in December 2016 cost $225 USD. Fortunately I had OBC to cover the cost, but bottom line is I will not be doing it again. I didn't buy any product and while the service was good, it certainly was not worth $225. Should you decide to do it anyway, I would suggest getting a full breakdown of the cost prior to the service and make them write it down if you can. I find they tend to tell you the basic price and then when all is said and done there are a bunch of add ons - extra for gel removal, extra for gel polish, extra for this and extra for that.

HomelessBear Posted April 22, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 22, 2017 If it's the same now as my last experience, they also add a set tip onto the bill rather than leave it to your discretion. Just to make you aware. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 4cats4me Posted April 22, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 22, 2017 No, I always bring my own stuff and do my toes while on the balcony. Even with $800 OBC on my next cruise I will refuse to use my free money to have a $95 manicure onboard. I can buy a lot of bottles of opi in the perfume store with my OBC instead If a mani /pedi was more in line with prices at home, I would consider it.

DMCruiser Posted April 22, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Both my husband and I had one on the Crown in October, it was his first and he loved it. There was a small amount of "hard sell" but it's OK to just say no. The pedicure was great and lasted most of the 15 day cruise. Sorry, I don't remember the cost.
