any chance the spa will split up my massage into two invoices?

Stupid, niche, unimportant question, I know. But that's what cruisecritic is all about right?

 

My health insurance will reimburse me up to $75 per massage, 50 times a year. If I get a 100 minute massage and I submit a bill for two 50 minute massages back to back, they will reimburse each of them. Any chance Carnival will work with that if I book a 100 minute?

Unless they offer 50 minute massages I doubt they have a way to ring it up that way.

I thought the spa on Vista was pretty accommodating for us.  We went to the "pamper party" where they offer discounts on future services if you book them at the party.  May daughter wanted her hair trimmed in addition to the other packaged services offered.  They came up with a custom discount package and offered it to us.  

I know that is a little different, but just wanted to say, it never hurts to ask (and I'm guessing it could vary by ship).

I'd like to know what health insurance reimburses massages! I can't even use FSA money for massages.

Spa staff don't enter prices.  They enter services

It's called the foreign service benefit plan. Unfortunately you have to be a federal employee and even then it wouldn't make sense to have it unless you live abroad.

My former company’s health plan offered up to $200 per year reimbursement for such services as exercise classes, gym memberships, weight loss or smoking cessation programs - and massages.   I scratched my head at massages being one of their “healthy living” benefits, but they offered it and people used the benefit.  This was a regional southern WI/northern IL health insurance company.

Nice. We have a healthy lifestyles plan that gives you reimbursement money. But it doesn't cover gym memberships, massages, or any of the things you listed. Just doctor's visits and prescriptions.
