They told me I'd prepaid HAL but not the spa company & they had to transfer the payment to the spa company but I did in fact pay 2x. Yikes. I’m never going to prepay again. As someone else mentioned, they run their own specials once you are onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, before this, I only had one spa service in 9 cruises. A couples massage with DH probably on Dream. This was my first real adventure in the spa and I admit that I thoroughly enjoyed myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepaying allows you to book the best time. I was also able to use the Black Friday 20% sale. I have never been overcharged. It is always credited with the prepayment like excursions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPTexas Posted January 26, 2023 #30 Share Posted January 26, 2023 This just happened to us on the Panorama at the spa when we had a couple's massage. It was pre-paid and then charged again. I went to the spa to talk to them about it after seeing the charge on my account on the HUB app. They said it would be taken off that same day, but the next day it was still there so I went to Customer Service Desk, and they handled it right then and there. It also helped that I always print out my booking pages, so all our pre-paid items are listed. We were told that it is always best to take care of charges like this while still on the ship, so we wanted to act quickly because it was a significant expense to be double charged. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallasdan Posted January 26, 2023 #31 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I prepaid a massage for my DW on our upcoming cruise. I will definitely be looking at my on board charges closely after her massage. Thanks for the heads up. I hope you get it resolved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted January 26, 2023 #32 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I didn't receive a printout of my charges for our Nov 23, 2022 cruise so I requested a copy of it through the Carnival website like Spleenstomper. I have now requested it 3 times and have not received it. This last Jan 14, 2023 cruise I sent a PDF of my charges from my hub app to my email. That's what I'm gonna do moving forward. Thank you Spleenstomper for posting about your spa issues. Good to know and I hope it gets reconciled soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spleenstomper Posted January 26, 2023 Author #33 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) I didn’t think to check the app. Does it work if you aren’t on board? and eek at how many people this has happened to. I was about to let it go thinking they credited me the $575 but now I’m going to stick with it. Blah.

I can't remember, did they stop handing out printed invoices at the end of the cruise? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We debarked with luggage and they called us at 7:15 so it was a frenzy and I grabbed it on the way out. It might be at my son’s house and I’m going to look for it later today when I get there Edited January 27, 2023 by spleenstomper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spleenstomper Posted January 27, 2023 Author #38 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Does anyone have John Heald’s email? Maybe he can help me get a legible copy. Edited January 27, 2023 by spleenstomper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spleenstomper Posted January 30, 2023 Author #41 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I hate to say this, but I think I’m going to let this go. My son and I both vaguely remember checking the sign and sail charges on the TV and I very vaguely remember seeing a credit. I have just pulled myself out of a giant depression and the cruise was the turning point, along with the 7 spa services. It REALLY helped me out (along with meds changes and other things). I don’t have the mental space to get into a giant protracted time and brain waster about this. We are shareholders, so I spoke with my husband about letting it go. He reminded me that I told him on the phone while on the cruise that I was blowing a ton of money in the spa. He agreed that we can just assume CCL did it correctly and lesson learned to double check next time while on the cruise.

I think it is more likely than not that Carnival did handle it correctly so I would do the same thing you are doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the well wishes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
