Massages on the Mariner

[remmy810]

Has anyone ever gotten a massage on the Mariner or any other ship? Are they worth the money?

I have on three ships (not on Mariner). In my opinion they are over-priced, but enjoyable so I have splurged at times. If you are a Crown & Anchor member you will have a coupon for a discount. Rates are also cheaper while at port and sometimes discounts are advertised other times in the daily cruise compass. I would not pay full price for a ship massage. Another option is to get a massage while at a port or during a pre-cruise stay in the city the ship leaves from; often you can get similar quality for a lot less at land based spas.

How much are they? My girlfriend & I are thinking about sneaking away & having some "girl" time one day on our upcoming cruise, & I'm having trouble finding prices so we can decide what will be the most worth our time/$. I had a manicure on the last cruise, & I thought it was WAY overpriced, considering I recently got an upscale mani/pedi that was just as thorough for less money. But a friend of ours had a hot stone massage on that same cruise, & he thought it was well worth the $, but I don't remember how much he paid (he's now in Japan or I'd ask him). :)

The massages are pricey and some of them are sub-par at best. But if you are desperate and in need of something for a bad back they are better than nothing.:o

 

I avoid them on board, when I can ,and get them in ports of call.

 

But I guess if you are looking for something to do on a sea day or a special treat, booking on board is the way to go.

 

I believe that their prices may be better on port days.

I have had the massages on several occasions and found them quite good.

 

They are expensive but watch out as they really do push you to buy products at the end and these are really expensive.
