Rare Clay Clayton Posted September 4, 2019 Author #26 Share Posted September 4, 2019 i I Wasn’t the one who said the responses were hostile-that was another. I just found it strange that so many folks wanted to give me advice on getting it done pre cruise, doing it myself, or spending my OBC on what I find a crazy price (given the reasonableness of the price of just a haircut. I realize now that the title was wrong. What I really wanted to know was whether the “express” beard trim price ever included the haircut. Lesson learned-don’t try to be funny with your post title and more importantly ask exactly what you really want to know. In case you were wondering, We leave tomorrow and I just finished trimming my beard and have the trimmer packed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keensie Posted September 4, 2019 #27 Share Posted September 4, 2019 People are super uptight on this forum and seem miserable, but pay them no mind. Have a nice cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Clay Clayton Posted September 21, 2019 Author #29 Share Posted September 21, 2019 To close out this thread, the price of the beard trim is indeed over $50 with the gratuity. The haircut is about $40 with the tip. We elected to use our beard trimmer and spent the obc on dinner at Tuscan Grille! Mike was going to get a haircut but the hairdresser’s attitude was so negative when we asked about the beard trim cost, he elected to wait until we get to China! LOl Cruise was great except for a couple of windy, cool and rocky days. We are thinking about doing it again next year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuscan certainly seems a better use of OBC! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just don't like to do it? Thanks for reporting back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldubs Posted September 23, 2019 #32 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Yikes! I would expect to pay more for a beard trim on a cruise ship, but there comes a point where it becomes kind of insulting. No way I would pay anyone $50 for a beard trim. If you see Gandalf on your next cruise it is me being too cheap to get a trim. 😀😀😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Clay Clayton Posted September 23, 2019 Author #33 Share Posted September 23, 2019 But he says he edges the beard and you get a hot towel. That was the reason it was so expensive. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the website the price for the haircut is $35 which is about what one costs here in Portland where we are currently Airbnb-ing. But the “express beard trim” which says it is 25 minutes long (as opposed to 45 for the haircut) is $47! Any idea why so much more? Do they ever offer a deal onboard? TIA! Clay A haircut in Portland is $35! Wow, it is $20 here in Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Clay Clayton Posted September 23, 2019 Author #35 Share Posted September 23, 2019 It was $13 where we went when we lived in Houston! $11 if you were a senior and went on Tuesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted September 23, 2019 #36 Share Posted September 23, 2019 They charge what they please because they can! A captive crowd. The only time we would get a trim on a ship is if taking a 2+ month cruise. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jean87510 Posted September 23, 2019 #37 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The beard trimmers really do not take up much space. My husband brings his on the trans atlantics when we are gone from 15-18 days. He would never trust anyone to do it but himself. If you can do it yourself, then pack it up and save some money.

With the senior discount, I pay $15 for the haircut and $8 for the beard trim. Based on total volume I probably should be paying more for the beard than the haircut. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lumberjack beard and pay $40 (+$10 tip) for a haircut and beard trim. I had no idea it was so expensive on the ship. I would be hesitant to have someone other than my regular barber touch it as he's been doing it for years and knows exactly how I like it. Thanks for this thread.
