Go-Bucks! Posted July 21, 2019 #51 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I've used the spa on Carnival, Celebrity and Princess before Oceania...all were grossly overpriced, gave excellent services and had friendly employees. The only difference I've found is that CR on Insignia NEVER tried to sell me any products or extra services...all the others pushed stuff at every session. Obviously I know how to say "no", but I love not having to say it! If O goes with Steiner, sadly that will all change! 🙁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If O goes with Steiner, sadly that will all change! 🙁 After recent experiences on Crystal and HAL I did notice the sales focus compared to CR but it was not at all excessive. I had several spa treatments with different staff and was only hit up with a sales pitch twice. Both were a pretty passive mention which I declined. Conversations on the subject started and ended in about 15 seconds. Many of the treatments had a listed regular price which was about the same as CR in port only specials.

Toranut97 Posted August 6, 2019 #54 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Dredging up this old topic because i just received an email promotion for Canyon Ranch Spa for our Sirena cruise in January. My understanding from this thread was that CRS was "going away" at the end of the year. Has anyone heard anything different? The subject line read "Wellness at Sea During your 1/13/2020 Cruise." Confusedly yours Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confusedly yours Donna There will still be a spa, but Steiner will run it. My massage woman verified that they have a 5 year contract with Oceania. She isn't too happy and is worried that she'll have to start pushing products. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warburg Posted August 7, 2019 #56 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Greetings from South Beach, Everyone. Living as I do in the plastic surgery capital of the world, vanity is ever with us. I am slightly addicted myself. Especially on longer cruises I go to the spa. However, I never liked Steiner. Every visit was an exercise in avoiding the hard sell. When I asked where to buy replacements for products I bought on board no one knew, so why buy. They were just too annoying so I hope it isn't them. It was so convenient to make CR appointments before boarding. Ah, the good old days.

Classiccruiser777 Posted August 7, 2019 #60 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Steiner has one of their massage schools in my area. I used to go there because student massages were $20 for an hour. The last time I went I contracted scabies. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
