Mariner Spa

Anything in particular that is recommended?

 

Does one need advance reservations?

 

I'm guessing these are pay-for-service, but that I can use my onboard ship credits?

 

Many thanks!

The spa offers just about everything but the quality depends on the person doing whatever at that time...I have had a terrific massage - and a not-so-good one. The hairdressers vary too...

 

Yes, you charge to your suite and you can therefore pay with your on board credit. Make your reservations for everything you think you want when you board (I go right after boarding, before we are allowed into our suites) and then if what you get is not up to your expectations, you can cancel the rest.

 

I don't know what others do, but I tip in the spa. Nowhere else.

I love the Mariner spa. My favorite is the Hot Stone/combination massage. I have always had very good luck with all of the staff. Facials are great as well! Yes, tip in the spa as they are not ship's employees.
