Gym and Spa Facilities on Radiance?

[sexyaznboy]

Hey guys going on Radiance of the Seas RCL in May, wondering if someone can tell me about the gym there and the spa services, is there an extra charge for the spas, how much and what it includes? Thanks.

Gym on Radiance has the usual machines etc. The spa area has sauna an steam which is free of charge but there is also a spa area that you pay for.

We found that the free one was OK, large steam room and sauna with plenty of showers etc.

Thanks, do you happen to remember what they charged for use of the pay spa and what extra things you get?

[LEESRE]

Not sure how much they charged but the only thing that they had was scented showers, mist showers, also tiled relexation chairs etc.

 

Found that the normal sauna and steam to be just as good.

If you are talking about spa services like massages and stuff the prices are fairly expesive. There are always "spa specials" like pick any 3 treatments for $99 ( you can pick from things like neck massage, hair styling, mani , or smallish stuff like that). The treatments on the normal menu are fairly similar to things offered at land spas, just pricier. For example, I want to think I remember a 1 hour massage for $165 (regular price).

Hi

 

On Radiance of the seas, are sauna facilities (free and paid) are co-ed or separe for men and women. Many thanks.

The sauna & steam rooms are located in the men's & women's locker room (respectively), are complimentary and are not co-ed (clearly ;).

The spa facilities that are available for a fee are co-ed.

Hello Giglewolfoftheseas.

Not seen you on these boards very often of late. Was it you who had been to Las Vegas? If so please let me know.

[GigglewolfOfTheSeas]

Yep; I was in Vegas the second week of December, 2007. The Mandalay Bay Spa is FANTASTIC. Luv that place.

The hotel itself was pretty nice too. Their gradually performing renovations of the casino and other public areas. Rooms were done last summer.

 

They seem to be heading in a more "contemporary/modern" direction with their design overall (instead of the faux-Mediterranean-style they originally opened-up with), but they seem very careful to phase-in the change and it may be another year or so before the whole resort is in the same style. (You can tell I'm a bit of an architecture freak, right? ;o).

 

Next trip is the Serenade of the Seas to Alaska in about 60 days, then, possibly, the Ruby Princess in December. We shall see.

 

You were headed to the Radiance or Brilliance as I recall (?).

[LEESRE]

Thanks for the reply going to Vegas in a couple of weeks and wondered about the spa's there.

Yes went on both radiance and Brilliance and Caribbean princess since then.

Just booked for the Ventura for October.

 

Hope you enjoy Serenade.
